Emerging Technologies: 3D Printing & VR

Welcome to Jennings Library's guide on trying 3D printing and virtual reality in the library.

The emerging technologies collection at Jennings Library started with the Creation Station, which was a grant funded initiative focusing on 3D technology. We now offer one 3D printer and a VR Lounge, which includes two Oculus Quest headsets.

The basics:

To print a 3D object you need to send us the .STL file via email: 3dprinting@caldwell.edu

Printing costs $0.25 per gram of material

An estimate will be provided before we print your item.

For more info: See the Policies tab on this guide.

The basics:

• There are TWO Meta Quest 2 headsets for use.
• All VR sessions will be in the VR Lounge. VR equipment may not leave the VR Lounge.

Funding for the Makerspace Initiative (which included 3D printing) was initially provided by the New Jersey State Library and by LibraryLinkNJ, The New Jersey Library Cooperative, whose services are funded by the New Jersey State Library, which is responsible for the coordination, promotion, and funding of the New Jersey Library Network. Funding was also made available through a College Access Challenge Grant – Aim High Academy 2014 Contract.
