Resources for SoAD Students at NYIT to learn and use all digital fabrication tools
Students can use the SoAD Fab Lab's Ultimaker 3D Printers by submitting a 3D model to the 3D Printing Job Queue.
Reminders:
Anything can be 3D modeled, but not everything can be 3D printed. It is the responsibility of the student to design their 3D model to be 3D printed.
All students must review and submit files according to the SoAD Fab Lab 3D Printing Process / Standards
The lab will print any file submitted to the 3D Printing Job Queue that follows the lab's process and standards. Any submitted files that do not comply with the following process and standards will be rejected.
Students must complete the SoAD Fab Lab Canvas Orientation visting the lab space this semester.
Students without a SoAD Lab Sticker must come into the lab to sign a waiver before gaining access to any NYIT SoAD Labs.
Geometry must be:
Closed polysurface / mesh
Not non-manifold
Flat bottom objects aligned / oriented to the CPlane
Larger than 1 mm (1/16 in)
Complex geometry that cannot be easily built using alternative material / method
Use this 3D Modeling for 3D Printing Guide as a reference
3D Prints must be:
Under 1000g of print material
Under 24hr total print time
Use this Cura Slicing Guide to check your material use / print time
Files submissions must be:
Rhino 7 (.3dm) file
Units in millimeters
1 file = 1 printer - all geometry must be nested into a single build volume: 310 x 220 x 280mm / 12 x 9 x 11in
Only 2 files per student allowed in the queue at a time. Students must wait for a file to be completed or rejected to submit another.
Submit your file to the 3D Printing Job Queue on the (Appointments and Job Submissions) page
Allow 3-5 days for your submission to be processed and printed; 5-7 days during busy periods.
Students will be notified when their 3D print is finished and ready for pick-up.
3D printing is a fail-prone process. Prints fail regularly due to machine and design error.
3D prints that fail due to machine errors will be reprinted with no charge to the student.
3D prints that fail due to design errors will not be reprinted and the student will not be refunded for the material used. Students who want to reprint failed files must make necessary edits to the 3D model and resubmit to the Job Queue.
