After you have emailed your 3D file to us, we will carefully review your model for printing. Then we will email you to let you know if your model is possible to print on the machines in our lab and what the cost will be to print. Please note that some designs will not work for FDM printing.
When your 3D print is ready to pick up, you will receive a call or email. Payment is required for a 3D print, and the cost is based on the amount of filament used. Payment by credit or debit card is accepted at the Digital Media Lab.
