Welcome!
The Tintern Grammar Library 3D printer is an exciting feature of the STEAM centre.
On this page we will feature works from staff and students, as well as hosting guides and templates for your laser cutter projects.
If you have any questions about the 3D printer, we are keen to here them. Please email libraries@tintern.vic.edu.au with any and all laser cutter inquires.
If you wish to submit a piece for printing, please be mindful that material for the laser cutter is expensive, so larger, solid pieces will be less likely to be approved then smaller ones.
If you wish to submit a piece to the library for 3D printing, send an email to the library with your design attached in a .STL file format, along with colour preferences and the dimensions of your piece. We will then assess the request and get back to you as soon as possible. 3D printing can be very quick, but it can also take quite some time. For larger pieces with more complicated support structures the turn around can be up to 3 days, so make sure to submit works early.
For the majority od students and staff, Tinkercad is the best place to produce easy 3D designs.

F170 3D printers give educators, engineers, and designers access to affordable, industrial-grade 3D printing. The F170 is designed for ease of use, starting with a streamlined CAD-to-print workflow enabled by GrabCAD Print software.
This printer offers a versatile selection of materials, including carbon fiber, thermoplastic polyurethane, and other engineering-grade thermoplastics. You’ll combine fast and easy material swaps, a generous build volume, and dependable print results to provide accurate, repeatable 3D printing suitable for the classroom or office when using the F170.
