All members of the UAB community interested in using the 3D printers are required to complete introductory 3D printer training before using any 3D printing equipment in the UAB Libraries. Training lasts an hour and a half and includes hands-on practice setting up and submitting files to be printed in the 3DPrinterOS management system.
Introductory 3D printer training is a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) event. Be sure to bring a laptop or tablet to the training workshop to participate in hands-on practice.
Check the campus calendar for a list of scheduled trainings or request a training consultation.
The UAB Libraries provide access to 3 stereolithographic (SLA) or resin-based printers from Formlabs in Lister Hill Library 3D Printing. All members of the UAB community interested in using the SLA printers are required to complete introductory 3D printer training and SLA printer training before submitting items to be printed on the SLA printers. SLA printer training lasts for one hour. Attendees who complete SLA printer training by attending the entire hour-long training session will receive an email invitation to the library's Formlabs Dashboard following the training.
