Maker Wranglers

Our expert student Maker Wranglers offer free consultations during which you can learn how to 3D model, get help on a current project, or learn how to use any of the making equipment we offer in the library, including 3D scanning and laser cutting. They support 3D modeling programs Solidworks and OnShape, as well as all equipment in the makerspace.

  • Please remember to also reserve any additional equipment that you want to work with during your Maker Wrangler appointment.

3D Printing and Scanning

3D Printing

The DeLaMare Library Makerspace offers access to three different 3D printers. They include a Sintratec, a LulzBot Taz 5, and Stratasys uPrint SE Plus. Build size, layer thickness, filament materials available and their costs, and file formats accepted all vary per machine. Please visit or contact the makerspace directly at 775-682-7385 for more information.

3D Scanning

The Makerspace provides access to both an Artec Spider and Artec Eva 3D scanner.

  • The Artec Eva is a structured light 3D scanner and is ideal for making quick, textured, and accurate 3D models of medium-sized objects, such as a human bust, an alloy wheel, or a motorcycle exhaust system. It provides up to 0.5mm resolution and 0.1mm 3D point accuracy.
  • The Artec Spider is perfect for capturing small objects with complex geometry, sharp edges and thin ribs, such as molding parts, PCBs, or fossils. It provides up to 0.1mm resolution and 0.05mm 3D point accuracy.
