Prusa i3 3D Printers

Located in Main Lab (167)

SOP: Prusa i3 MK3S

Prusa i3 is an FDM printer for 3D printing. It has a maximum print temperature of 300C so it is capable of a range of higher temperature materials. The materials that can be printed in Prusa include PLA, TPU, PP, etc. It has great reliability and produces higher resolution prints.

Hyrel 3D Printers

Located in Processing Lab (150)

SOP: Hyrel 3D printer

Hyrel 3D printers can print a large range of materials.  The Repetrel control software allows for great flexibility in varying processing parameters.  Print in just one material, or experiment with combinations; the heads are modular and each printer can support up to four heads at once.

Prusa Resin Printer

Located in Main Lab (164)

SOP: Prusa SL1 & CW1

The Prusa Resin Printer implements stereolithography (SLA) printing by curing layers of thermoset resin using UV light.

Formlabs 3+ Resin Printer

Located in Advanced Prototyping Lab (150)

SOP: Formlabs 3+ Resin Printer

The Formlabs 3+ utilizes a stereolithographic printing technique by curing resin using a UV light source.

Granulator

Located in Main Lab (164)

SOP: Shini SG-16N Granulator

Granulator is used by the MILL to break down old 3D prints into smaller pieces so that the material can be recycled using the filament maker in Love 167. The Sustainability L&D team is primarily working on this project. Learn more about Sustainability here.

Filament Maker

Located in Main Lab (167)

SOP: 3devo Composer 450 Filament Maker SOP

The 3devo is used to create filaments that can be used in 3D printing. The extruder takes granules of polymer(s) mainly from the granulator located in Love 164, heats them, forms them into a strand of filament, and spools the filament. Our filament maker is used in conjunction with the Sustainability L&D team. Learn more about Sustainability here.

Cricut Vinyl Cutter

Located in Main Lab (164)

SOP: Cricut Maker 3 Vinyl Cutter

The Cricut is used to cut vinyl, paper, and other flat materials into desired shapes.

Janome Embroidery Machine

Located in Main Lab (164)

SOP: Brother PE800 Embroidery Machine

The embroidery machine is used to create patterns on textiles. It is used in conjunction with the Textiles L&D team. Learn more about Textiles here.

Serger

Located in Main Lab (164)

SOP: Brother PS3734T Serger

The Serger is used to create a secure and clean edge for any seam on a piece(s) of fabric.

Screen Printer

Located in Main Lab (164)

SOP: Screen Printer

The screen printer uses a printing technique where a mesh is used to transfer ink or dye onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. It is commonly used in conjunction with our heat press. If interested in using this piece of equipment, please contact the processing team’s CTO.

Heat Press

Located in Main Lab (164)

SOP: F2C Pro Heat Press

The F2C Pro heat press is used to stamp designs onto various textiles, including t-shirts. It is commonly used in conjunction with our screen printer. If interested in using this piece of equipment, please contact the processing team’s CTO.

Planetary Ball Mill

Located in Ceramics Lab (369)

SOP: Across International PQ-N04 Planetary Ball MILL

The Across International planetary ball mill is used when even finer particle sizes are necessary when compared to our rolling ball mill. If interested in using this piece of equipment, please contact the processing team’s CTO.

Melting Furnace

Located in Ceramics Lab (369)

SOP: REX-C100 Electric Melting Furnace

The melting furnace is used to melt metals like Cu (1084.62°C), silver (961.78°C), gold (1064.18°C), and noble metals. If interested in using this piece of equipment, please contact the processing team’s CTO.
