3D Printing
At the Lab we have an Ultimaker 3 for more information visit the ultimaker site. The ultimaker 3 is a dual nozzle printer capable of printing 2 colors or one color and a support material.
General filament nozzles are designated as AA cores. Support nozzles are designated as BB cores.
Materials
At the lab we print with:
- PLA (Poly Lactic Acid)
- PVA (polyvinyl alcohol)
- commonly used to create water-soluble support structures
If you would like to print with any other material please consult with your instructor

3D Printing Resources
University of Miami's Richter Library Creative Studio
The University of Miami's Richter Library Creative Studio is a great resource for doing final and multiple prints. Similar to the EML, the Creative Studio has 3 Ultimaker 3's. They charge $2/HR to print. We recommend for students to contact the asap when wanting to print.
