Take your imagination to the next level, like these Clevelanders did, and create something with the Cleveland Public Library's 3D printer. Located in the library's famous "Tech Central" this free-to-use 3D printer bridges the gap between technology and creativity right in the palms of your hands.
CoolCleveland Corespondent Marty Bielat met up with the Cleveland Brewery's owners, John and Mary Fuduric, at Tech Central and heard their story.
