Students working on a graduation project, as well as staff and researchers, can have parts printed by the FW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type of request<\/th>Lead time<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Standard plastic print, without special settings<\/td>Shorter: many printers are available for this<\/td><\/tr>
Other prints (different technique, material or settings)<\/td>Longer: there is less capacity for this<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During busy periods the lead time increases for both types of request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Submit the request form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. We check whether your part is printable. If there are problems, we will contact you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. You receive an email as soon as your part is ready for pickup at the FW.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The FW decides whether a more expensive material is needed. For new or complex designs we strongly recommend having a cheap test print made first. That way you can see whether the design works before using more expensive material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
