The Cube offers a wide variety of 3D printers as well as 3D scanners, electronic prototyping equipment, laser cutters, and traditional manufacturing equipment.
Please note that while the following printers are accessible to all students, most have rather high operating costs. Therefore, most projects will be printed on our Dremels. In most applications, these printers produce prints comparable to even our most expensive printers. Nonetheless, our industrial printers will be used for personal projects that show the need.
Which printer is best for my project?
For most projects we recommend one of our Dremel 3D45 printers. They are extremely reliable and are capable of printing at high resolutions.
If you need higher detail or extremely small parts, we recomend one of our resin printers.
For larger prints, we recomend our Ultimaker S5 or Dimension. The both the Dimension and S5 feature a large print volume and soluble support material.

What filament should I choose?
For most applications, PLA on our Dremels is more than suitable.
Alternatively, ABS and Onyx, used by the Dimension and MarkForged respectively, are slightly stronger than PLA and more resilent to heat.
The Cube also maintains small stocks of Carbon Fiber, Kevlar, and other fibers for the MarkForged MK II.
