Join us for our 3D Printer Orientation!

This orientation session will introduce participants to 3D printing services in the library. Those who complete the class will then be able to request time to use a 3D printer at HCPL branches, at which time they will complete a short machine-specific orientation at the location of their choice. Attending this orientation is mandatory before patrons can request time to use a 3D printer.

This event is open to all ages. Children ages 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult guardian.

You will create a unique fold‑out mini book built from a series of connected origami “squash folds.” Each folded square opens to reveal a larger panel, giving artists space to create individual drawings that expand outward like hidden pages. Once the drawings are complete, the folded units will be glued together to form a sculptural, interactive book that unfolds in surprising ways.
