You must purchase a Digital Fabrication Subscription for the semester in order to 3D Print. Failure to follow the submission steps below will result in you needing to make changes and resubmit. We don't allow any custom slicing settings.

THIS PROCESS HAS CHANGED FOR SPRING 2025.

Our internal process can take up to 48 hours before you receive the first confirmation of your 3D Print request. Please factor this initial lead time into your expectations when submitting a 3D Print request. We have other responsibilities at the Tech Desk unrelated to 3D Printing, so we don’t have the bandwidth to prioritize your request if you come the basement upon submission.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Review 3D Printing Policies  

  2. Export your STL from Rhino

  3. Repair your STL in Netfabb

    1. Export repaired STL

  4. Raise3D:

    1. Create your ideaMaker file with your STL(s)

    2. Add your idea file and Netfabb screenshot(s) in a folder named EID_Mon-DD_UNIQUE[#] (example: eid123_Dec-12_modelz[5])

      1. Your idea file and this folder will share the same name

    3. Compress your folder into a .zip file

  5. Stratasys:

    1. Add your STL file and Netfabb screenshot in a folder named EID_Mon-DD_UNIQUE (example: eid123_Dec-12_modelz)

      1. Your STL file and this folder will share the same name

    2. Compress your folder into a .zip file

  6. Request Form (you must log into ServiceNow before uploading)

After Submission

  1. The Tech Desk will respond to your e-mail with a print time and cost estimate

    1. You must respond to us with either approval or cancellation

    2. Please note that our internal process takes time, and we will respond to you only once we have completed it (up to 48 hours)

  2. With your approval, we will add your job to the queue

    1. The estimated time only calculates print time, not time in the queue

    2. We will notify you when your job is sent to a printer

  3. You will pay for your job via What I Owe*

  4. You will receive an email notifying you when your job is ready for pickup

    1. If you do not pick up your job, you will still be charged the full amount to your What I Owe

*Faculty must include an account number to charge when submitting 3D Prints.
