If you attempt to book more than this amount of time in a week your extra time will be deleted by the faculty supervisor. Please respect and comply with the DFL's regulations
SPECIAL NOTE: The DFL hours of operation are limited this term. If you need/want CNC or 3D printing services please plan well in advance so that our staff can ensure someone is available to oversee the cuts/prints and the extended time that those types of cuts/prints typically required.
CNC Cutting: Connect directly with designated DFL Lab Assistant or Lab Staff; CNC cuts require an initial review of cut file assessment so that the Lab Grad can review the file and ensure the best possible prints/cuts. Set up is on a first come, first serve basis. The faculty supervisor or graduate assistant will confirm scheduled day/time for cutting once the file has been reviewed and approved.
3D Printing: Connect directly with designated DFL Lab Assistant or Lab Staff; set up is on a first come, first serve basis. 3D printing time estimates can be significant depending upon the size and complexity of the print file. Files must be discussed with designated DFL Lab Assistant or Lab Staff prior to printing. The faculty supervisor or graduate assistant will confirm scheduled day/time for printing once the file has been reviewed and approved.
