3D Printers<\/strong><\/h1>\n

*The 3D printers are available to use after a one time training session. After the training session, the 3D printers are free to use during available booking times.*<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The printers print ultra-thin layers of PLA plastic on top of each other to build up a very high-resolution plastic model. The PLA filament is biodegradable and is made from corn starch. It comes in a variety of colors (the work shop typically sells white). The maximum size for any print is 8.4 x 6.3 x 8.7 inches (21.5 x 16\u00a0x 22 cm).<\/p>\n
