Whether you’re interested in a wrist with a scaphoid fracture, a glycine molecule, or even the Star Trek Enterprise™, Himmelfarb Library can 3D print it for you! Our 3D Printing at Himmelfarb guide explains how easy it is to select a model.
The guide links you to repositories such as Thingiverse and the NIH 3D Print Exchange to browse their collections of ready-to-print models. It also links you to the job submission form. From there, we take care of the rest!
We frequently print items to support research at GW, and have recently fulfilled several orders for hearts to support medical students in the Cardio/Pulmonary/Renal block. (See images below.)
Our two Zortrax printers can print materials as large as 8x8x8 inches. The cost is 10 cents per gram, with a $1.00 minimum purchase. Check out our quick 3D printing video guide to learn more about our service, and to see our printers in action! Or stop by the Circulation Desk to see some of our models on display.
