The Process

After filling out the form, 3D print requests will be processed in the order received and include:

• examining the model/.STL file for viability on the selected printer
• conversion to G-Code for the selected printer
• automatic support structure generation

We will calculate the cost of your project. You must approve the charge before your model is added to the print queue. Once approval is given, we will add your project to the print queue and provide an estimated availability time. When your model is complete, we will notify you via email.
