3D Printer
General Information
This page provides general information about the 3D Printers available at the makerspace, and directs makerspace members toward specific equipment pages for each printer. The 3D printers can be found inside the Clean Room.
If you have any issues with Clean Room equipment, the slack channels associated with this space include: #general, #shop-3d-printing, and #shop-laser.
Where do I find 3D models?
Recommended 3D Modeling Software
- TinkerCAD - Browser based, cloud-based, approachable for makers of all ages
- Fusion 360 - Cloud-based parametric 3D modeling software. Collaborative, powerful, free license available
- LuBan - Has a number of fun features for scaling models to any size, lithographs, box making, extrusion, etc. We have a license for this software on-site, available on the PC located in the 3D Printing Area
