How you can use it
You must be certified to use our 3D printers.
The certification consists of two parts:
- An online 3d printing module to be completed BEFORE registering for the in person training
- An in-person training where you successfully print the CATalyst Certification Coin Model
After you're certified, you can use a 3D printer to:
- Create physical objects from digital files
- Design 3D models and prototypes using Fused Deposition Modeling or Resin-Inverted SLA 3D printers
- Print open-source 3D models from Thingiverse, Yeggi, or Instructables
- Create advanced 3D models using SolidWorks and AutoCAD (free downloads for UA faculty, staff, and students) or Fusion360
Fees
Our materials for 3D printing cost fees to use. Learn more about our fees and how to pay them.
