LEGAL STUFF

This service is designed for rapid prototyping, not production. Requests are limited to: TTUHSC faculty, students, staff, and researchers, as well as approved TTU students, faculty, and researchers, along with local community members and organizations committed to collaboration, innovation, and education. The Libraries of the Health Sciences' 3D printers, related tools, and equipment may only be used for lawful purposes.

No material will be created if the material is:

• Prohibited by local, state or federal law
• Unsafe, harmful, dangerous or poses an immediate threat to the well-being of others
• Firearms or other weapons, obscene or otherwise inappropriate for the library environment
• In violation of another’s intellectual property rights, including copyright (Title 17, U.S. Code) and patent law (Title 35, U.S. Code)

In addition, any materials produced on premises are not intended for clinical use and the distributed products are intended for research and academic use only. Permissions and compliance with applicable rules are the responsibility of the requestor. 3D printed models are not necessarily food-safe and extra precautions should be taken if the 3D printed component is to be used near food.

After submitting a print request, the requestor will be contacted. All local patrons are urged to pick up printed objects within 7 days of printing. Shipping to other campuses or distance education students is permitted. The Libraries of the Health Sciences cannot guarantee model quality or stability, confidentiality of design, or specific delivery times. We reserve the right to decline any 3D print request for any reason.
