[Libs-Or] Libs-Or Digest, Vol 274, Issue 13

Sun Dec 14 12:18:52 PST 2025

3D printing was pretty loose here and hard to track without a policy in place.  Very sporadic requests and uneven.

Our director came up with a policy here: https://www.seasidelibrary.org/3d-printing

We were piggybacking on policies we saw in other libraries in other libraries around the state

Here's the Sherwood Public Library page about 3D printing:
https://www.sherwoodoregon.gov/library/page/3d-printing-request-sherwood-public-library
West Linn has this PDF available along with a Google form:
https://westlinnoregon.gov/sites/default/files/fileattachments/library/page/56732/3dp_form_-_online.pdf
https://westlinnoregon.gov/library/3d-printing
Corvallis-Benton has this one:
https://cbcpubliclibrary.net/3d-printing/

Hope that helps!

Hello library friends,

We are working on creating a policy for our 3d printers here in Mt. Angel, and I would like to hear from other libraries who have a 3d printing lab and have an effective policy in place. Specifically:

  *

What limitations do you place on individual print projects?

  *

Do you charge for printing, and if so, how much?

  *

Do you limit the number of prints a patron can get in a month/year?

  *

How do you enforce your policy?

Any insights you can offer on managing a 3d printing program would be fantastic. I am looking to create more programming using our printers and would like to learn more.

Thank you very much!

Dillon Peck, MLIS
