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. Low Fidelity machines offer a quick and low-cost way to test the functionality of your ideas. High Fidelity machines can produce fully finished and functional parts ready for use. There is great overlap between the two categories, and much depends on the need of the customer and the usage of the part. Typically, higher fidelity machines better control the printing environment leading to more robust and accurate parts, but come with additional expense. Our default selection is Low Fidelity using PLA material; any other selection may require an engineering explanation/justification. For more information on our many print technologies and machines, please visit our Wiki page: FEDC Prototyping Index.

If you have questions on our 3D printing rates for materials and technologies, please visit the Service Center Rates section of our Engineering Service Center: FEDC 3D Printing Rates.

If you are having any file upload issues/form questions regarding 3D printing, please visit the Service Request section of our FAQ: FEDC 3D Printing FAQ.

To ensure your part can be manufactured at the FEDC, you MUST consult the Printed Circuit Board FAQ first!

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
