    Who Can Print 3D Objects

    Currently enrolled students and faculty/staff


    [top]

    Production Timeframe

    Patrons are strongly advised to submit their files at least 5 business days in advance of important deadlines. This becomes especially important at the end of the semester and during peak finals times.

    • Production timeframe may vary depending upon such factors as the object's printer file itself, staff and device availability, and/or unexpected device or material issues that may arise. Thus, the CDS does not guarantee specific completion times.

    • Generally, objects are printed on a first-come, first-served basis; however, priority will be given to students printing objects related to graded assignments for a course in which they are currently enrolled.

    Referrals

    The Hesburgh Libraries maintains an inventory of six 3D printers, with various capabilities. If we are not able to meet your needs within these capabilities, patrons are encouraged to contact the IDEA Center at Innovation Park. If we proactively feel that your project would benefit from a consultation with the IDEA Center, we will suggest that to you, and connect you with them.
