There are four new Ultimaker F.D.M. 3D printers. Two are Ultimaker 3 Extended and two are Ultimaker S5, the largest FDM printer-to-date by Ultimaker. All have dual extruders and will have white PLA as printing material and PVA as support material.
In addition to the Ultimaker printers in the Fabrication Lab, students have access to six Sindoh 3DWox Printers available 24/7 located in Murphy Design Studio. Filamet for the Sindoh printers can be purchased on Amazon.com by searching for “Sindoh 3D Wox Refill PLA Filament”. Additionally, some filament may be available for purchase through the Fabrication Lab.
How To Prepare A Model For Printing:
Models are created in 3D programs such as Rhino and must be saved in STL format. Use the following steps to prepare your model in Rhino and Cura.
After you have exported your Rhino File, you will now need to open Cura and import the model. Please select the type of filament you would like to use on your print (we offer free tough white PLA Filament, with optional PVA as a support material). Cura Software is available for free download with the link below:
Once you have created your cura file, please schedule an appointment to have the print reviewed and added to the queue in the Fabrication Lab. Please note you must be physically present for the
appointment.
