potential as an innovative learning technology, Ryan and Grubbs noted that many articlesshow 3D printing in libraries as a “fun” or “creative initiative” rather than being fully integratedinto the curriculum.3 This perception is slowly changing as more and more academic campusesacross the world are incorporating 3D printing in academic libraries, often under the broaderumbrella of a makerspace, and publishing the models and methods they have developed forintegration into and the support of teaching, learning, and research.The University of Nevada-Reno’s DeLaMare Science & Engineering Library is arguably the firstacademic library to offer 3D printing as a service in 2012.4 Colegrove, the library’s director,noted that the addition of 3D printing

students per reading room seat ranged from 32 at the University of Missouri to 3.66 atthe University of Pennsylvania. The University of Wisconsin had the largest number of currentperiodicals at 175. Annual expenditures on books ranged from $350 at Worcester PolytechnicInstitute to $2,500 at the University of Iowa.There was also much disagreement among engineering faculty about whether engineeringmaterials should be housed in a library located within the engineering school or in the mainlibrary. Not surprisingly, a number of SPEE members believed that students were better servedby an engineering library located near their classrooms and laboratories. During a discussion onthe design and layout of engineering schools at the 1911 SPEE meeting in
