3D Printer

Home › content › 3D Printer

A ZPrint 250 3D printer is now available in the DECS Support Office. The printer is available for use to faculty, staff and students. The printer allows for high resolution and movable parts, thus making it able to print complex parts, models and prototypes. It has the ability to print multiple objects at once which saves time and resources. There is little waste as extra materials are recycled by the machine! With every print being unique, print-quota cannot be used to pay for parts; however, estimates of final cost are available. Click here to see more photos of the process.
