FlashForge Creator 3
The FlashForge Creator 3 is a dual extruder FDM 3D printer. This printer takes FDM a step further, and allows users to create more complex parts, with the aid of support material, as well as create parts with multiple materials. In the Design Lab, users will be able to realize complicated designs and print them with high resolution.
Specifications:
- Build Volume: 11.8 x 9.8 x 7.87in
- Layer Resolution: 0.05-0.4 mm
- Materials Supported: PLA / ABS / PVA / PETG / HIPS / PA PC / WOOD / ASA / PA-CF / PA-GF
Formlabs Form 3
The Form 3 is a Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer. This printer uses a resin filament, in liquid form, and uses a 250mW laser to cure the resin, layer by layer, to create a 3D model. The Form 3 will allow Design Lab users to create extremely detailed and very high resolution parts, perfect for display or modeling purposes.
Specifications:
- Build Volume: 5.7 x 5.7 x 7.3in
- Layer Resolution: 0.001in
- Materials Supported: Resin
Boss LS-1416 Laser Cutter
The BOSS laser cutter can cut and engrave a variety of materials, from cutting through quarter inch acrylic to engraving aluminum and steel. Users will be able to create signage, electronics covers, and more, using the laser to quickly cut and mark materials.
Specifications
- Cutting Area: 14 x 16 in
- Laser: 50W CO2
- Maximum Cutting Thickness: 3/8" for Acrylics and Woods
