3D PRINTERS
The CAEN is also unique because it has two 3D printers that allow faculty and students to print 3D physical representations of their models. These printers are located in the Advanced Computing Lab, so students can watch as their models are being built.
The Spectrum Z 510 Full Color System produces high-definition, full-color prototypes quickly and affordably. Superior inkjet printing technology creates parts with crisply defined features, enhanced accuracy, and precise color, so you can print and evaluate physical models of design concepts in their nearly finished state. Rapid 3D printing of high-definition models means you no longer have to wait for prototypes. This unique, 24-bit color, 3D printing capability produces color models that accurately reflect your original design data. Color models communicate more information than any other type of rapid prototype, providing you with a strategic advantage in product development. |

he SLA 250 model Thermojet is a stereolithography solid object printer that uses a liquid polymer resin, in conjunction with a laser, to produce 3D objects. Faculty and students can benefit from these solid object printers to facilitate communication of design intent, refine designs more quickly, improve product quality, identify design issues, and reduce design cycle time and costs.
