摘要：

Purpose - The purpose of this column is to examine the current environment of 3D printing and its suitability for use in the library. Design/methodology/approach - Literature review and commentary on this topic that has been addressed by professionals, researchers and practitioners. Findings - The library is more than its collection. As 3D printing joins the technology selections available in the library, it offers patrons the opportunity to create and further develop their skills, in order to explore and potentially innovate, in a welcoming environment of intellectual stimulation and experimentation. Originality/value - The value in addressing this issue is to present the basic details around this new technology and suggest that it has value for its inclusion into the current array of library services.
