Print Lab
The Computer Science Degree Program has a 3D Printing Lab, which allows our faculty and students to explore their new innovative ideas. The lab currently consists of a Ultimaker 2 3D printer that is powered by open source software for designing and building objects.
The Ultimaker 2 provides a print speed of up to 300mm/s and 0.02mm layer resolution.
Open Source Software
The Cura software provides the following features:
- 3D model slicing in seconds
- Prepares printing files up to 20 micron
- Easy to use user interface
- Multiple industry-standard files STL / OBJ / DAE / AMF
- Four simple standard profiles
- Extensive expert setting
