3D Printing
How You Can Print
The CCI Commons offers limited 3D printing options to students interested in creating practical 3D printed objects.
In order to submit a print to the CCI Commons, send in a request with your model to ihelp@drexel.edu. Prints may not be longer than 8 hours and may be split into multiple prints based on the availability of the 3D printer. There is no charge for 3D prints done by the CCI Commons, however they must be approved the CCI Commons Staff.
The CCI Commons staff provides a 2-week turnaround time on any requested print and reserve the right to decline any prints they deem out of scope. We also make no guarantees about the quality of the prints provided and that we can use the requested filament color. The CCI Commons will only fulfill print requests for faculty, staff and students who are either enrolled in CCI or taking a class in CCI.
