During the COVID-19 pandemic, “makers” have come together to design, 3D print, and distribute medical supplies.

As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, we have been working with our leadership to ensure we are doing the right thing for our community.

It is my pleasure to share updates from the NIH Library with you. These are only a few of the many projects and initiatives we are working on.

The National Week of Making (June 17-23, 2016) celebrates the ingenuity and creativity of the diverse community of inventors in the Maker Movement. Join in celebrating the National Week of Making with a special symposium at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) titled “Making Health: Inspiring Innovative Solutions for Research and Clinical Care.”

Do you need help organizing or formatting citations in a manuscript you hope to submit for publication? If so, the NIH Library is here to help you.

Blender is a powerful, open source program that allows a wide range of creative work. This free class will focus on how to use Blender to create 3D models that can be printed on one of the NIH Library’s 3D printers.

Through the NIH Library’s Technology Sandbox, a 2014 trial of 3D printers exposed NIH staff to cutting edge technology for work and research. The pilot was so successful that the Library is now permanently offering free 3D printing services. ​​
