Prusa i3 MK3/MK4

We have four Prusa I3 MK3 printers and one Prusa MK4 InputShaper printer. These printers are fused filament printers that use spools of PLA plastic. They are easy to operate and affordable to run, and can meet most users' printing needs.

Formlabs Form2

We have one Formlabs stereolithograph (SLA) 3D printer. Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing uses a laser to cure solid isotropic parts from a liquid photopolymer resin. There are a variety of different resins with different properties to fit various research needs.

Since this printer is more expensive to run and is capable of very high precision printing, it is primarily reserved for research purposes.
