Additive
The Innovation Workshop hosts a variety of additive tools for producing polymer parts. Our filament 3D printers are great for affordable rapid prototyping, but can also print impressively strong parts with a variety of specialty filaments. Our resin printers can produce fully-solid prints with extremely fine details; and we stock a variety of resins with desirable engineering properties such as transparency, flexibility, and temperature resistance in order to suit your needs.
How-to Information
- Steps to Access the Innovation Workshop
-
- Initiate an Access Request (see inset).
- Contact Innovation Workshop staff to get trained on the instrument. Completion of a new user orientation and safety briefing is required before obtaining card-key access to the CNSI Workshops. Tool-specific training is required for all tools and instruments in the lab
- All users must complete UCSB Environmental Health and Safety’s Fundamentals of Laboratory Safety course. The course is offered in person at the beginning of each quarter, and is also available on-line.
- Provide additional billing/access forms (to be requested from academic/industry users external to UCSB).
- Apply to CNSI for electronic door access to the facility.
- Innovation Workshop Staff will add you to the FBS reservation system
