3D printing
This lab houses Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers for student use. There is no charge for 3D print time, however, there is a charge for material, which is calculated by the weight of the printed project. We have several colors and types of filament available.
Students will need to submit their files through the PaperCut web service. PaperCut can be accessed through the Creative Labs Canvas Course. Be sure to click on "Print Rooms/FabLabs" to submit your job, and that you have selected your pickup location. Once the file has been approved it will be placed in the queue.
Please allow 2-7 days for execution. This will depend on the current load of project files.
CNC routing
The lab also houses CNC routers that are capable of 2 ½-axis profiling and 3-axis surfacing. These machines are operated by our Creative Labs managers. Students are required to submit a properly formatted Rhinoceros 3D file prior to scheduling a fabrication time. There is no charge for CNC router time, however, it is up to the student to purchase their own sheet material. Select options of high-grade plywood and MDF is available for sale in the Creative Labs Center.
