3D printing is the process of taking a digital file and making three dimensional solid objects. It is made by laying down many successive thin layers of material.

We now support dual nozzle print jobs! With this technology our printer can complete prints designed to be printed with two colours of filament, and create support structures composed of materials that dissolve in water. Please note: at this time we only support models initially designed with allowances for dual nozzle printing.
Please note: due to increased material cost we will be charging 30 cents per gram for the use of dissolvable support material. We will determine at the time of print whether we need to take advantage of dissolvable material to produce a quality print.
- Submit files in .stl or .obj format
- Material is PLA, which is not safe for use with food
- Expect turnaround in a few weeks
- Charge: 10 cents per gram of the finished product for standard PLA; 30 cents per gram of dissolvable support material (PVA).
- Max size for is 30.5cm by 28cm with a height limit of 60.5cm, which is extended to 30.5cm by 30.5cm by 60.5cm for single extruder prints
