3D Printing

3D Printing

TechLab supports two options for 3D printing. These options are:

  1. Do-It-Yourself 3D printing following instructions here. DIY 3D printers are currently located in Cox Hall and the Woodruff Health Sciences Center Library.
  2. 3D Printing as a Service (more information below).

Please note there is a small fee for the service based printing. There is no fee for DIY 3D printing, and each user can print for 100 hours per month.
