Can I see my object being printed?
You can watch the 3D printer in action anytime during regular business hours. Due to the large number of projects, it is extremely difficult to pinpoint exactly when your project will
be printed.
How do I request a print job?
Once you submit your request, it will be added to the queue and staff will notify you when your item is ready for pick-up.
3D Printing Directions
The file must be in .STL, or stereolithographic file format to print it. MeshLab is a freeware program that can be used to view and convert your file to STL format.
Once a request is submitted you can keep in touch with the 3D Printing department through the confirmation email that will be sent to youThe maximum build size is 284 x 154 x
152 millimeters, or 11.2 x 6.1 x 6 inches.
When notified by email that your model is ready you will be sent an invoice listing the print cost. Take this receipt to the TFDL Service Desk to make your payment and collect your
model.
