All drawings must have dimensions and toleranced, if omitted will result in your request being rejected.

We offer Low Fidelity and High Fidelity 3D printing services. Our default selection is Low Fidelity using PLA material; any other selection will require an engineering explanation/justification. For more information on our many print technologies and machines, including a breakdown of the FEDC allotments and costs for service, please visit our Wiki page.

The Fischer Engineering Design Center provides 2 different services

The following styles can be requested:

• Standard: traces can be a minimum of 1 mm, and all spacing must be at least 2 mm. We will only outline traces, pads, etc.; no full rub-outs of copper from the PCB. Aim is for 3-day turnaround maximum (depending on queue).
• Non-Standard: traces can be as thin as 0.5 mm and 0.5 mm spacing between components allowed. Full rub-outs available upon request. Turnaround is greater than one week (depending on queue) and material cost can be up to three times greater. Engineering justification required.

The FEDC does not supply the material for laser cutting. You must provide your own material, labeled with your FIRST and LAST name, to the ZACH 111 Part Drop-Off Shelf. Occasionally, the FEDC does have small quantities of scrap material available for student use – please ask our team for details.

The link below will take you to a downloadable version of the FEDC AutoCad Template used by our technicians to prepare and cut your designs and drawings. In order to lessen confusion or miscommunication, please consider placing and adjusting your drawing within this template, then save as [FirstName_LastName_FileName].dwg

You may use Fischer Engineering Design Center material for school-related purposes. Fischer Engineering Design Center material costs are $0.75 per square inch. Vinyl Cutting allows you to take a variety of designs and cut them out of vinyl.
