3D Printer Lab

 


3D printers are available to FCFI students, faculty, and staff, and the public, to make three-dimensional objects in filament using a design uploaded from a digital file. 

  • Prior to using the 3D printers you must complete a mandatory 3D Printing 101 Quiz, A Code of Conduct and Safety Quiz and sign a Makerspace User Agreement.  
  • 3D printing services are offered in a non-commercial capacity.
  • Student assignments take priority over other 3D printing jobs.
  • Uploaded files will be deleted once your object has been printed.

3D printers are to be operated by FCFI Makerspace Technicians only.
