Work Priority

Work orders are prioritized as follows:

  1. Educational Support
  2. Funded Research
  3. Unfunded Research
  4. Other

See also the Work Order Priority Policy. We aim to complete most parts in one to three days within this priority framework. The shop does its best but please give us time to succeed.

3D Printing

We have four Stratasys F170 prototyping machines for work orders.

  • Determine the gross dimensions (x,y,z) in inches or millimeters of object.
  • Create Work Order using above link and upload .stl file exported from any CAD source

You may have multiple .stl files on one work order. Make sure that quantities are also included.
