Specialty 3D PRINT REQUESTs

For most 3D printing use cases, you should be able to use our selection of Makerbots. To gain access to these machines, simply become a member and complete the 3D printer training on our trainings page. You will have access to these machines for free during our open hours. Please note that you must physically come to the CEID to use these, as we do not take online requests for them. If you need assistance, feel free to contact us or ask a CEID staff member in the space.

If the Makerbots cannot satisfy your printing requirements due to technological limitations, you may request that CEID staff print your job on one of our specialty 3D printers. To do so, please fill out the form below. CEID Staff will review jobs on a case-by-case basis to assess whether or not we will be able to accommodate the request. Again, if you have any questions on whether a specialty 3D printer is necessary for your job, contact us or ask a CEID staff member in the space.

Please note that due to a high volume of print requests, it may take two to five weeks to complete your request. You will be notified by email when your print is finished and ready to be picked up. You must be a CEID member in order to submit a request.
