Online Services, Training, and Resources from the NIH Library
The NIH Library is here to help you—online—with your teleworking information and research needs.
Celebrate the National Week of Making
Stop by the NIH Library and be inspired by how the NIH community is using 3D-printed lab instrumentation to transform research, and how 3D-printed molecular and anatomical models facilitate hands-on discovery and communication.
Introduction to 3D Modeling with Blender
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.
Print for Free @ the NIH Library
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.
