Public libraries: free, and you do the printing
The National Library Board (NLB) runs a makerspace called MakeIT at Libraries inside four libraries: Jurong, Tampines, Woodlands and Punggol. Each one has 3D printers you can book. NLB’s page says its workshops and materials are free for NLB members.
- You need to be an NLB member. The space and the machines are for members.
- Book a printer online. NLB’s MakeIT Yourself page has a booking link for a 3D printer at each of the four libraries. You log in with Singpass to book.
- Never used one? Take a Starter Session first. These beginner classes are free. NLB says some machines can only be used once you have its certification.
- Go between Wednesday and Sunday. The makerspaces open from 12:00 to 20:30. They are closed on Mondays, Tuesdays and public holidays.
- It is meant for ages 13 and up. NLB recommends that age for safety.
What to know before you plan around it:
- You do all the work. You find or draw the 3D file, set up the printer and wait for it to finish.
- Printing is slow. A part the size of your fist can take a few hours.
- NLB’s pages don’t say how long one booking lasts or how big a print can be. Ask the staff at the branch before you plan a large part.
- NLB describes the space as being for members’ personal projects, so it is not the place to run a batch of parts for work.
A printing service: paid, and someone prints it for you
A printing service takes your file, prints it on its own machines and hands you the finished part. You pay, and you skip the learning and the hours beside a printer. It is the better choice when:
- the part has to fit something, carry a load or look finished;
- you need it in nylon powder or metal, which a desktop printer can’t make;
- you need more than a few copies, or it is for work;
- you have a deadline.
Five services are on the map, ours among them. Here is what the other four say on their own websites:
- Prices. None of the four publishes a price list. Zelta 3D and 3D Print Singapore quote your file online, Print City asks for a quote form and says it replies within 3 working hours, and Think Design Make takes enquiries by WhatsApp.
- Speed. 3D Print Singapore says most filament parts are ready in about 2 working days. Print City says most orders take 2 to 5 working days. Zelta 3D says online orders can be delivered in 1 to 3 business days.
- Materials. Zelta 3D and 3D Print Singapore list filament, resin, nylon and metal printing. Print City lists filament printing only. Think Design Make’s page doesn’t name its processes.
- Opening hours. None of the four lists them, so message before you turn up.
How ours works:
- You see the price before you give us your email. Upload a file and the price appears in seconds. It is priced by the gram and the process, and the price list is public.
- A person checks every file before it prints. If something won’t print as drawn, we tell you first.
- Most jobs are ready in 5 to 7 working days. Rush options are available on most jobs.
- Finishing happens in the same workshop. Sanding, priming, painting and electroplating are done by our own team.
- No file is fine. Send a sketch, a photo or the broken part and we model it.
The honest limits of any service, ours included: it costs money, it takes days and not hours, and someone has to tell the printer what to make, so you need a file or a clear brief.
Renting a printer: when you have a lot to print
If you have weeks of printing ahead, such as a school project or a short run of parts, renting a printer can make more sense than paying for each part. You book the dates online and collect the printer from our studio in Bendemeer. Our guide to renting a 3D printer explains who it suits and how pickup works.
- You need a table for it, time to learn it and patience for the first failed prints.
- You buy the filament, and you fix the print when it goes wrong.
At school or university: ask your own lab first
Many polytechnics and universities here run 3D printers for their own students and staff. If that is you, ask your lab or library before you go anywhere else. These labs are not open to the public, which is why they are not on the map.
How to choose

Frequently asked
Is 3D printing free at Singapore's public libraries?
Yes, for National Library Board (NLB) members. NLB says the workshops and materials at its MakeIT makerspaces are free for members. You book a printer and run the print yourself, so the cost is your time.
Which libraries in Singapore have 3D printers?
Four, as of 13 November 2026: Jurong Library (Level 2), Tampines Library at Our Tampines Hub (Level 4), Woodlands Library (Level 3) and Punggol Library (Level 4). NLB's booking page lists a 3D printer you can book at each one.
Do I need experience to use a library 3D printer?
No. NLB runs free Starter Sessions for beginners and keeps written guides beside the self-service printers. It also says some machines can only be used after you have its certification, so a first-timer should start with a Starter Session.
Can children use the library 3D printers?
NLB recommends its MakeIT equipment and programmes for ages 13 and above, for safety. For a younger child, a class with a trainer in the room is the safer start.
Where can I 3D print if I don't have a 3D file?
At a library you need a file first, so download a free model or draw one. A printing service can start from less: we take a sketch, a photo or a broken part and model it for you before printing.
How much does it cost to have something 3D printed by a service?
It depends on the size, the material and the process, and none of the other four services on our map publishes a price list. Ours is priced by the gram and the process, and the instant quote shows the price for your own file in seconds.
How do I find 3D printing near me?
Press Nearest to me on the map. It sorts all nine places by distance from where you are standing. The libraries are in the west, east, north and north-east; the services are in Bendemeer, Toa Payoh, Ubi, Jurong East and Bukit Merah.
