3D Printing

The Burlington Public Library provides public access to 3D printing technology thanks to a generous donation from the Burlington Rotary Club. With the purchase of a Fifth Generation MakerBot Replicator 3D printer, the library invites community members to learn, experiment, and create using this cutting edge technology.
