3D Printing at the Fab Lab runs as a service bureau. After setting up a file, the Fab Lab will review and print it for you. You will be able to learn all the ins-and-outs of 3D Printing without needing to deal with the technical issues as our staff will maintain all the technology. Our facilities and resources are open to all at the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning.
Knowledge Base - This Knowledge Base is where we hold all our learning resources. Understanding the capabilities and limitations of the technology will help you achieve your desired outcomes. Using the navigation on the left or the search bar, you can find a variety of guides on the printing process and techniques.
Consultations - Book here Speak to one our technicians before you begin to find out how to best utilise 3D printing in your project! Additionally, if our Knowledge Base does not hold the answers you seek, come have a chat and we will guide you in the right direction.
Print with us! Submit your prepared files through the NExT Lab Print Portal, after you have prepared the files, we will review it and print it for you.
There is a queue that can get busy during the key submission times across the semester with a fluctuating turnaround time, so get files in early!
The Fab Lab is home to Bambu Lab X1 Carbons for standard 3D Printing.
The Bambu Lab X1 series of printers are engineered and extensively tested for reliable, faster 3D-printing. It is the perfect tool for you to quickly and cheaply test and bring new ideas to life.
