 \n\n\nDescription\n\nInterested in bringing 3D printing to your library but 
 not sure where to start? This beginner-friendly webinar introduces you to 
 the fundamentals of 3D printing—what it is\, how it works\, and how to 
 create meaningful programs around it. Through the lens of cultural 
 heritage\, you'll learn how to find or create 3D models\, clean them up 
 using free tools like Tinkercad and Meshmixer\, and prepare them for 
 printing in slicers like Cura.\n\nWe'll explore beginner- and 
 intermediate-level workflows\, including using photogrammetry to digitize 
 real-world objects\, remixing ancient artifacts\, and running themed 
 programs like "Design Your Own Amulet" or "Build a Mini Egyptian Tomb." 
 You'll leave with practical tools\, step-by-step guidance\, and 
 ready-to-run program ideas for patrons of all ages.\n\nLearning 
 Outcomes\n\nBy the end of this webinar\, participants will be able 
 to:\n\n\n	Explain the basic steps of 3D printing\, including model 
 creation\, cleanup\, slicing\, and printing\, using accessible tools like 
 Tinkercad\, Meshmixer\, and Cura.\n	Identify and evaluate sources for 3D 
 models\, including cultural heritage repositories and community platforms 
 like Thingiverse\, and understand how to modify or remix models for 
 educational use.\n	Design and implement beginner-friendly\, themed 3D 
 printing programs with a cultural heritage focus—such as artifact 
 recreation\, tomb-building\, or amulet design—for a range of age groups 
 and library settings.\n\n\n\n\nPresenter\n\nEllyssa Valenti Kroski is the 
 Director of Innovation & Engagement at the New York Law Institute as well 
 as an award-winning editor and author of 75 books. She is a librarian\, an 
 adjunct faculty member at San Jose State University\, and an international
