The 3D Printing Studio houses 10 FDM printers that (after an online orientation and an in-person assessment) are free and open to anyone at the University! Our goal is to make 3D printing easy to use, free of cost, and accessible to all. We offer group trainings, workshops, and events to help Library visitors learn and master 3D printing technology.
To use the 3D Printing Studio
Please complete our online orientation and sign up for an in-person assessment, and then use the online reservation system to reserve a printer. Before you visit, check out full hours for 3D printing and other Library spaces.
If you are a certified user, but looking to get advanced training, check out group trainings.
If you would like to request extended 3D printing hours or work on a special printing project, please fill out our special printing request form. We will contact you with a decision in 2 business days.
