3D Printers at the Makerspace
Ultimaker (FFF)
We have over 30 FFF (Fused Filament Fabracation) printers from Ultimaker, including the Ultimaker 3, 3 Extended, S3, S5 and S5 Pro. These reliable prosumer printers are efficient and economical while producing high-quality parts.
Formlabs (SLA)
We have 8 Form 2 and 2 Form 3 printers and offer most of the standard and engineering resins for these SLA printers that excel in print small and intricate parts in high resolution.
Markforged, Stratasys & Dolomite
We have FFF 3D printers from Markforged, Stratasys & Dolomite that excel in certain areas, for example, the Dolomite is designed for microfluidics and the Markforged prints in carbon fiber reinforced nylon. Ask our staff about the advantages!
3D printing is available by virtual appointment. See our most recent COVID operations here.

Permit Upgrades
A CoE permit (blue, red OR green is sufficient) and paid materials fee for this semester are required. Our student staff are required to swipe your ID every time to verify.
Note: College of Engineering faculty and staff are not required to pay the materials fee though they still must have a CoE permit.

Cost Estimator
To determine the price of a 3D Print, you can use our Cost Calculator, which calculates the price based on material consumption. You will need to know the number of grams for Ultimaker prints, the number of mL for Formlabs prints, the number of cubic centimeters for the Markforged, and cubic inches for the Stratasys.
