A close-up of a Bambu Lab 3D printer in operation, printing with purple filament. The printer nozzle is laying down layers on the build plate, forming two rectangular objects with visible infill patterns. The textured build surface also shows faint outlines of previous calibration prints.

A classroom setup with multiple 3D printers arranged on gray tables in rows. Several printers have filament spools attached, including yellow, purple, blue, and green. The room has white walls, carpeted flooring, fluorescent ceiling lights, and double wooden doors at the back.

A group of students works in a classroom with several 3D printers lined up on tables. The printers have spools of yellow and blue filament loaded. Four students in the foreground are standing at the machines, reading instructions or adjusting settings, while more students and an instructor are visible in the background. The room has white walls, fluorescent lighting, and wooden double doors.

Purpose

The IRC–Learning Innovations 3D Print Lab is dedicated to supporting innovative teaching, learning, and research by providing access to 3D printing technologies. This lab fosters creativity, hands-on learning, and interdisciplinary collaboration across 91��. It serves as a resource hub for students, faculty, and staff interested in exploring and applying additive manufacturing in educational and professional contexts.

Our Equipment

Our 12 Bambu Labs A1 Combo offer a build volume of 256 x 256 x 256 mm³ and can print up to speeds of 500 mm/s. Calibration is fully automatic and motor noise cancellation. The Learning Innovations 3D printer supports multi-color printing with the Automatic Material System (AMS), allowing up to four colors in a single print.
