Would you like to learn how to use a 3D-printer? Are you already familiar with 3D printing and wish to print your own projects? The Medical Library has a 3D printer that you can book. Participate in a 3D workshop to learn the basics of the printer and gain access to book the printer.
The Medical Library has one bookable 3D printer that can be used by students and employees of Umeå University.
Attend a workshop to get authorised to book
To use the 3D printer, you must first attend an individual workshop where you will learn how to operate the printer practically. This will make you a certified user who can book time for your own printing projects.
Using the 3D printer
The printer is available when the Medical Library is open.
Certified users can book a time slot via the page Book 3D-printer.
Printouts that exceed the booked time may be interrupted by staff or the person who booked the subsequent time slot.
The 3D printer is a model ZYYX Pro II, and the maximum build volume is 285x235x210 mm.
The computer next to the 3D printer is equipped with the Simplify3D software, which is used to process 3D models. You can learn more about the software here:
You must comply with the handling and safety regulations included in the mandatory workshop.
You are forbidden to print items that are intended to harm others or are otherwise illegal.
The printer hood should be in place and the hatches closed to minimise noise and odour during printing.
You are responsible for the entire printing process (starting the printing process, that the printing proceeds normally and that it runs within the scheduled time).
Leave the workspaces and the 3D printer in such a condition that they are ready for the next person to print.
