Prototyping Center

You are here: Home / Facility / Prototyping Center

The Prototyping Center (ZACH 140) produces all manner of prototype parts for students. This includes several large commercial 3D printers, metal 3D printing, laser cutting, vinyl cutting and printed circuit boards (PCB).

**The equipment displayed does not represent all equipment in this area or are for common usage.

Low Fidelity 3D Printing Equipment Available

All are FDM-style machines which extrude plastic filament through a heated nozzle to build the part layer by layer. Primary material is PLA, but can also use ABS, PETG, TPU, Nylon, etc. With Engineering Justification. CreatBot can print with higher temperature materials (ULTEM 9085).
