3D Printing | Digital Makerspace
The Digital Makerspace has eleven 3D Printers to support classroom assignments and personal creativity. We currently offer a mediated printing service, as well as a 3D Printer that can be reserved for use after a training session with our staff.
Why was my print job cancelled?
Your print job could be cancelled for a number of reasons, including the following:
- Not using your UNCW email when submitting your request.
- Unoptimized file for 3D Printing. You may have to review your file and optimize it for 3D printing. This is a common occurrence with requests people have modelled/designed themselves.
- Sizing error. Your print may be too large or too small to print.
- Your print will take too long. The DMS cannot run machines outside of operating hours. Prints that exceed our open hours or staffing capacity may be declined.
- Request specifications. Sometimes we get requests that ask for 100% infill or disproportionate scaling of models.
We may contact you about questions regarding these items. We will very rarely print anything with 100% infill without confirmation from the person requesting the job. Infill is the density of the print, and can sometimes mean a very large amount of filament used. If you're not sure what infill is, don't worry—we can handle it for you.
Unless infill is absolutely vital to your model, there is no need to input infill specifications on your model, allow the DMS to handle that for more efficient printing.
Why isn't my print job showing up in the queue?
As we work on print jobs, we will change their status to pending, approved, and printing. These changes keep it in our queue on the backend, but make them temporarily disappear from the queue displayed above. Don't worry—we're working on it! You will get email updates as your print status changes.
3D Printing Services
Our 3D Printing Service is for UNCW faculty, staff and students. Before making a print request, please estimate the cost of your print job and read over all 3D Printing guidelines.
For a more in-depth and independent 3D Printing experience, the Digital Makerspace offers a training session for anyone in the UNCW community who is interested in learning how to 3D Print themselves. Users will be able to reserve a Prusa i3 MK3S in the public area of the DMS after going through an hour long one-on-one training session with DMS Staff. Cost for using this printer is the same as if using our 3D Printing Service. Book your training appointment today!
Need help with 3D Modelling? The Digital Makerspace can help walk you through learning different 3D Modelling programs to make your perfect design. For beginners, we recommend using TinkerCAD, a free browser-based modelling software. Other free modelling software includes Blender, Meshmixer, and ZBrush Core Mini.
Need help finding 3D Models online? Popular websites for finding 3D Models online include Thingiverse, Morphosource, NIH 3D Print Exchange, NASA 3D Resources, and Smithsonian 3D.
The Digital Makerspace Staff can offer additional assistance with finding, creating, and optimizing your 3D Model for printing.
Filament Recycling
The Digital Makerspace primarily uses PLA (Polylactic Acid) plastic filament. With heat treating, this plastic can be biodegradable. Instead, we choose to completely recycle our 3D Print failures, scraps, and supports to create new spools of filament that are perfect for drafts and prototypes. Our unused print scraps are broken down to pieces and fed into our Filastruder and Filawinder system, which not only extrudes new filament, but winds it onto a reused spool for us as well.
3D Printing Guidelines
- All 3D print requests must be submitted as a .STL file. Other file types will be returned for correction.
- Please allow up to 7 days for job completion.
- All print requests are processed in the order they are received. We cannot guarantee specific delivery times.
- If the item is not picked up in 14 business days it will become property of Randall Library and will be recycled.
- The cost to print is .12¢ per gram with a $1.00 minimum purchase. Total is then rounded up for service fees to the next dollar. Payment is due upon print completion.
- Prints can be picked up at the Digital Makerspace.
- UNCW does not guarantee a successful print. The cost of a completed print, regardless of quality, will be still be charged.
- All UNCW computer, network and Copyright policies apply to the use of the 3D printers.
- You may not use the printer to create material that is:
- Prohibited by local, state, or federal law.
- Unsafe, harmful, dangerous, or poses and immediate threat to the well-being of others.
- Obscene or otherwise inappropriate for the University environment.
- In violation of another’s intellectual property rights, including to reproduce material that is subject to copyright, patent, or trademark protection. It is the responsibility of the user to verify the eligibility of the item to be printed.
- Mass production of items beyond prototyping.
- We reserve the right to refuse any 3D print request for any reason.
- UNCW takes no responsibility for the end-use of an object once that object is printed.

FAQ's
How much does your 3D printing service cost?
The cost of your 3D printed parts depends on factors such as part volume, part complexity, choice of material, which 3D printing technology is used, and if any post processing is required. For more details on these cost factors, see our article on the cost of 3d printing. To check the cost of your 3D printed part, simply upload a CAD (.STL) file and select your material and 3D printing technology to receive a quote within seconds.
How do you guarantee the quality of my prints?
Your parts are made by experienced 3D printing shops within our network. All facilities are regularly audited to ensure they consistently meet the Hubs quality standard. We include a standardized inspection report with every order and offer a First Article Inspection service on orders of 100+ units.
We have partners in our network with the following certifications, available on request: ISO9001, ISO13485 and AS9100.
Follow this link to read more about our quality assurance measures.
How do I select the right 3D printing process for my prints?
You can select the right 3D printing process by examining which materials suit your need and what your use case is.
By material: if you already know which material you would like to use, selecting a 3D printing process is relatively easy, as many materials are technology specific.
By use case: once you know whether you need a functional or visual part, choosing a process is easy.
For more help, read our guide to selecting the right 3D printing process. Find out more about Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) and Stereolithography (SLA).
How can I reduce the cost of my 3D prints?
In order to reduce the cost of your 3D prints you need to understand the impact certain factors have on cost.
The main cost influencing factors are the material type, individual part volume, printing technology and post-processing requirements.
Once these have been decided, an easy way to further cut costs is to reduce the amount of material used. This can be done by decreasing the size of your model, hollowing it out, and eliminating the need for support structures.
To learn more, read our full guide on how to reduce the cost of 3D printing.
Where can I learn more about 3D printing?
Our knowledge base is full of in-depth design guidelines, explanations on process and surface finishes, and information on how to create and use CAD files. Our 3D printing content has been written by an expert team of engineers and technicians over the years.

American and Turkish engineers assembled a metal-to-metal desktop 3D printer
News
creation of a budget 3D printer capable of printing all-metal products.
Let's talk about what they did.
Direct 3D printing with metals (without intermediate steps such as growing polymer-metal blanks, and then etching and sintering) can be divided into two areas, referred to in Russian GOST as “synthesis on a substrate” (in the English terminology Powder Bed Fusion or PBF) and "direct energy and material supply" (Directed Energy Deposition or DED). Synthesis on a substrate involves sintering or fusing metal-powder compositions in containers using laser emitters or electron beam guns. In the direct supply of energy and material, various energy sources can also be used, for example, the same lasers or electron beams, and the materials can be either powders deposited into the sintering or fusion zone or metal wire.
A project by scientists from California State University and Osman Ghazi University of Eskisehir is a variant of the second track called Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing or WAAM. Here, the material is wire, and the products are grown by arc welding, specifically in this case, with a non-consumable electrode in a protective inert atmosphere.
WAAM is already being used in industry, for example in the repair and even additive manufacturing of ship parts: in 2017, the Dutch production center RAMLAB produced the first type-certified 3D printed ship propeller ( in the illustrations above and below ).
The resolution of WAAM 3D printers, to put it mildly, is small and requires a lot of post-processing, but they are easily scaled up and do not require fuss with relatively expensive, and often dangerous powders, and at the same time outperform traditional methods in terms of producing geometrically complex products with minimum waste. But you can scale both up and down, and the heroes of our story decided to create such a device not on the basis of an expensive industrial-grade multi-axis robotic arm, but by redesigning a budget desktop FDM 3D printer with the intention of keeping within one thousand dollars.
As a basis, the guys took an open source "drygost" called Bukobot by the Californian company Deezmaker.
The team assembled the device themselves by printing plastic parts on a Stratasys uPrint SE Plus 3D printer, and the power source for the head is an Everlast-branded welding machine. The movable electrode is mounted on one carriage with a mechanism that feeds a metal wire into the melt zone.
Inconel 718 Single Layer Metallography
Experiments were carried out with two types of consumables - AISI 1030 high-carbon steel wire and Inconel 718 heat-resistant nickel-chromium alloy with a diameter of 0.8 mm using tungsten electrodes with a diameter of 2.37 mm and blowing with an inert gas - argon. A series of experiments included experiments on 3D printing at different speeds with the appropriate adjustment of the material feed rate and current strength. For steel, these parameters varied within 2.5-3.5 mm/s with a feed rate of 14-18 mm/s at 45-55A, and with Inconel they tried to print at speeds of 4.88-5.03 mm/s with a feed rate wire 7.69-10.49 mm/s at 40-50A.
Exterior and cut of 30 ply Inconel 718 specimen
Predictably, the team faced a host of challenges, including mechanical failures, errors in machine code, overheating and even burnout of electrical connections, and electronic and stepper motor failures caused by welder noise.
When working out the parameters, the results varied greatly: when working with the same steel, even at a current of 50A, 3D printing at high speeds produced a series of drops instead of solid lines, so the combination of a paving speed of 3 mm / s with material feed at a speed of 18 mm / s at a current of 55A ( option number 8 in the illustration above ). With these settings, we managed to get a wall of twenty-five layers in the illustration below.
In general, the experiment was recognized as successful, as the very possibility of WAAM 3D printing with metals on budget, self-assembled equipment with a total cost of around one thousand dollars was proved without significant defects, such as interlayer oxidation or cracking.
The team's full report can be found at this link.
