Makerspace Projects

Disclaimer & Guidelines for Project Submission

The Makerspace is open to all students for academic projects only. Certain tools are available exclusively to trained staff. To ensure your project can be accommodated, please avoid last-minute submissions. Ample lead time is especially important for larger projects.

The Makerspace is designed for hands-on learning, not just as a service provider. While staff are available to assist, the responsibility for completing the project rests with the requester.

Makerspace Equipment

3D Printer (Extrusion)

3D Printer Extrusion

Extrusion 3D printers are similar to a hot glue gun. The printer keeps building layer upon layer to create the desired object. There are various types and colours of filament to achieve your goals!

3D Printer (Resin)

3D Printer Resin

Resin printer material starts as a liquid and is light sensitive. A screen inside of the printer acts like a photocopier and shines light through the screen hardening the resin. Resin printers afford a higher resolution but less durability than PLA printers.

UV Flatbed & Latex Printing

UV Flatbed Printing

The UV Flatbed printer is a printing machine in which wet ink is applied to a flat substrate and then cures when UV light passes over the ink causing it to harden instantly.
