We have multiple 3D printers, with print areas ranging up to 8” per side, printing PLA, ABS and other materials. We also have two high resolution SLA resin printers that deliver 1 mm layer height for jobs that need a high level of detail.
If you have questions about this area, you can contact the 3D Printing Area Managers, Kevin Besig and Sal Cimbolo, at 3dprinting@rocmakers.org.

Introduction to SLA 3D Printing
Maximum Students: 3 Duration: 1 hr Prerequisites: Introduction to 3D Printing or prior 3D printing experience
Class description
Interested in high detail 3D printing? Sign up for this introductory course on Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing! SLA 3D printing uses a laser to cure liquid resin into hardened plastic, resulting in a more detailed, smoother finish to 3D printed objects. This course will teach the basics of how SLA printing works. All are welcome to enroll, but to get the most from this class, participants should have prior experience with 3D printing.
