3D Printing Information

The Bayley Information Technology Laboratory provides multiple 3D printers for making models, prototypes and physical artifacts. Users must plan ahead to use these printers, as the time required to process files can take hours or days. Files must be submitted through the IT Lab Checkout Window in Brooks 203 during its normal business hours. or contact one of the Full Time staff members for consultation/assistance.

Direct access to the 3D printers is not available to users. Please plan ahead. 

Please review our Filament Guideline for 3D Printing.

General 3D Model and Printer Notes

College of Design 3D printers are only available for College of Design students, faculty, and staff. Students must be a current Design major, minor, or currently registered for a Design course.

    • Price for Formlabs resin printing:
      • $0.30/mL (White, Draft, Clear, Flexible 80A Resin)
    • Price for PLA/PETG filament:
      • $0.45/g (Primarily: Black, White, Grey)
    • Price for P430 ABSplus (Ivory) Mojo printing:
      • Materials fee:$5.00/cubic inch
      • Required build plate fee: $4.00 each

An accurate volume, build cost, and build time estimate can only be provided once the model file is processed – Please note we no longer print with bulk ABS filament.

    • Payment will be made using WolfPrint print credit.
    • You may have to manually move funds from AllCampus to WolfPrint
    • Pre-payment is necessary before initiating build.

Plan at least a few days, if not a week, in advance to take into account the build time, post-processing clean up, assembly, painting and possible delays.

    • STL files can only be used for 3D printers
      (Note: STL files do not contain color or image texture maps).
    • Pre-scale models so that wall thicknesses can be adjusted independent of overall scale.
    • Be sure to check the units (ideally mm) used during STL export and approximate finished build size (scaled) in XYZ.
