NOTICE: We are upgrading our 3D printing service. New appointments are not available.

Turn your digital files into three-dimensional objects for free. You can print jewelry, toys, household gadgets and more with our 3D Printer.

3D Printing Guidelines

You must:

• Be a Library patron (full or limited access card holder in good standing*), age 13 and up.
• Have and be present for your 3D printing appointment. We won't print your object without you.
• Send your single file at least 24 hours before your appointment start time. You will get submission directions in your Approval email.
  • We will cancel your appointment if we don't receive your file on time.
  • Your file can take at most two and a half hours to print. Your three-hour appointment accounts for preparation and maintenance.
• Adhere to relevant Library Policies.

You may:

• Have one 3D printing appointment every 6 weeks.

Note: If you can’t be present to finish your object, we will hold it for seven days.

*Good standing = you don’t owe over $100 in fines and aren’t suspended.

Equipment and Objects

We have a Dremel 3D45 3D Printer that uses a plant-based, biodegradable printing material.

• It can only print one color at a time.
• Color selection is limited, and we can’t guarantee color availability.

Your object can’t be a weapon or weapon part. We reserve the right to refuse any print request.

Our 3D Printing is thanks to support from the Friends of the Sunnyvale Public Library.

The Digital Learning Lab allows you to convert and save old photos, home videos and music into a digital format.

Currently not available. We are updating our equipment.
