Thermoplastic Polymer Printers

One of the most readily available printing techniques, thermoplastic polymer printers use plastics such as ABS, and PETG filaments to print. Accessible to students either through the department or through open-workspaces such as iCreate and the Innovation Lab, these printers can be used to create plastic prototypes and manufacture AutoCAD designs.

UV/Photopolymerization and Digital Light Processing Printing

DLP and photopolymerization techniques for 3D printing  are characterized by their use of  light to solidify liquid photopolymer resins. While both methods use vat polymerization to create prints,  stereolithography (SLA) uses concentrated UV light to create detailed prints from the bottom up. Using digital light processing, DLP printers are able to solidify resin entire layers at a time, creating a faster build.
