3D Printing & Laser-cutting Space

The 3D Printing & Laser-cutting Space of the Innovation & Research Commons is where patrons can realize their 3D and 2D designs

Filament Material Types:

  • Standard Filaments
    • PLA (Polylactide or Polylactic Acid) is a standard material for 3D printing. If you do not have any specific needs for your print to withstand extra force or heat this is likely the right material for you. We also have the most available colors for PLA material.
    • PETG (Polyethylene terephthalate glycol) is another standard material for 3D printing. Compared to PLA it is more durable and melts at a higher temperature. This may be the material for you if part durability is important to you.
  • Specialty Filaments (additional charge)
    • Carbon Fiber PC (Polycarbonate) is a specialty filament we keep in stock in our space. As the name suggests it is a blend containing carbon fiber for extra strength.
  • Colors other than those currently listed may be in stock or available by request. Information on these temporarily stocked filaments will be updated as frequently as possible.
