Presentation given by Hugh Murphy and Michael Leigh of Maynooth University Library highlighting the success of a recent 3d printing pilot and noting the strategic benefits of this type of innovation. Also notes the fact that a new service is still a service and has some similarities to what we already do

3d printing in Maynooth University Library: breaking the 3rd dimension
- 1. 3D Printing @ Maynooth University Library
- 3. What is 3D printing? 3D printing, also known as “additive manufacturing,” is a method for creating physical objects from digital designs. 3D printers build objects out of many very thin layers of material; the type of material objects are made from and how the layers are bonded depends on the type of printer. 3D Printing: Making Things at the Library Matthew B. Hoy Medical Reference Services Quarterly Vol. 32, Iss. 1, 2013
- 4. Why should libraries get involved? “For more than a decade now, higher education has been undergoing a major paradigm shift, moving from teaching to learning as its primary focus. In response, academic libraries have been shifting from an emphasis on housing and archiving print resources to one of directly supporting knowledge production” Colegrove, educase review, 2014
- 5. What is happening…? “…the cognitive gain that occurs when we create something new rather than simply repeat knowledge that has already been acquired. They create strong mental models of their world by engaging directly in the process of construction. Learners who produce more than they consume are generally more aware of their own learning processes and can adapt more quickly to changing environments and demands on their skills” http://steve-wheeler.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/maker-pedagogy.html
- 7. Broader applicability “Gartner predicts that the 3D printer market will have revenue growth rates of over 100%, beginning in 2018. Revenue will grow fastest in enterprise 3D markets, while unit shipments will expand rapidly in the consumer 3D market, with more-low-cost units driving broader adoption”
- 8. The Maynooth strategy – high level “̍ how to harness the potential of new technologies to enable greater flexibility and effectiveness in teaching and learning on- and off-campus” “its commitment to excellence, innovation and collegiality” “invest in and develop library and information technology services as critical enablers of our strategic goals”
- 9. The Maynooth strategy – library level • Importance of our service • Innovation in our service (proactive) • 3D printing is just another service • Focus on creativity • “Innovation is our new service”
- 10. What’s the benefit? • Give users what [we think] they want • Broadens service provision • Not all users want books (print or ‘e’) • Increased traction with academic departments • Staff views on technology opened up and challenged • Library seen as innovative • Library as ‘centre for everything’ on campus

- 44. “3D printing revolutionises our traditional relationship with cultural heritage. The museum visitor and the researcher are both facing unlimited possibilities: Artefacts that could only be seen behind a glass display case can now be touched and felt. At the same time, exact replicas can travel out of the country of origin and thus become accessible to researchers across the globe!” Dr Konstantinos Papadopoulos Postdoctoral Researcher in Digital Humanities “In the Design Innovation course, we currently have access to a 3d printer and the benefits are becoming more and more apparent to me as I progress through each module. Having the ability to quickly and cost effectively create a prototype of a concept which clearly communicates ideas to colleagues or end users is a great advantage throughout the innovation process. Others now having access to the 3d printer within the library, facilitates an open collaboration between a diversity of people who don't already have access to the technology within their respective departments.“ Stephen Cullen Msc student in Design Innovation
- 45. OPPORTUNITY The future outlooks for managing 3D printing services in university libraries appear very positive. With careful planning and execution, implementation of a library 3D printing studio can be fantastic opportunity for academic libraries worldwide.

Editor's Notes
- Hugh to do broad outline of where 3d is coming from, note different types, note growing presence in Ireland
- Hugh to refer to growing trends towards fostering creativity – e.g. Lego, makerspaces etc.
- The way in which people consume and learn is changing dramatically
- Very dramatically
- Hugh to note that 3d printing is growing in popularity and presence
- Hugh – library endeavours in this area are in keeping with vison espoused in the University Strategic Plan
- Hugh – Reinforce the centrality of services in all that we do. It cannot be simply cool to do. Integrate it into our service (technodeterminisim) Along with this, always strive to push the service to accommodate and anticipate users needs, especially as regards the need to create knowledge Quote from OCLC
- Hugh – library endeavours in this area are in keeping with vison espoused in the University Strategic Plan
- Keep a watchful eye – 3d printing should be the new iPod, but it could just as easily be the new mini disk
- 3D printing allows us to build, very rapidly a physical object. We can download or design product data and then send this to a desktop machine that will fabricate it for us, this little drawing was an actually a design we made so we could mount a 3d scanner to a tablet and here is the finished product. But how does it works is that it takes this product data and turns it into layers, then the printer will build the item layer by layer. This is called addictive manufacturing and there We can see some of this basic principles behind AM in caves where dripping water creates layers and layers of mineral deposits which accumulate to form stalagmites and stalactites. Example?
- Might make this 15, need to practice RAF plane parts Prosthetic arms Football boots Cars Giant statues of buddha Skin and Bones Selfies Houes Children Drawings Jewellery Soil Chocolate Guitars Insoles Neolithic figurine
- Customisation - the ability to personalize products according to individual needs and requirements Complexity - Allows for complex parts that could not be produced physically in any other manufacturing way Tool-less - for low to medium volume applications, 3D printing can eliminate the need for tool production Sustainable - it is emerging as an energy-efficient technology, in terms of utilising material and produce items that have a reduced carbon footprint
- Print Procedure/guidelines To help us get to grips with the machine we allowed Staff to submit models they found online and we would print them. It gave us a better understanding on how the machine worked. From this initial testing, we found some key factors. The best results came from .1mm layer heights, faster printing gave terrible results and high quality added a lot more time and not much better quality and often having more defects than normal .1mm resolution Speed mattered when it came to how good a print job would turn, by reduce the normal speed by a third result in better quality and only a little extra print time. This is to do with the filament PLA which needs more time to cool before add new layers It still took a long time to print big items and scanned items from 12 hrs to 32 hrs, we decided that it was best to limit the print volume hence most models would not take days to print Temperature, we also found that reducing the temperature slightly resulted in better results.
