Yes! Try your hand at 3D printing at the Sandbox. 3D printing is available at the Newnham and York campuses and is free of charge. 

To book time on our 3D printers you must follow these 3 steps:

  1. Complete our online training module (the link to part 2 is provided after completing part 1)
  2. Submit a 3D Print form

    (Option 1) Submit your .3mf file for review to receive feedback on your print settings and recommended booking time. This option is required for first-time prints and those exceeding 4 hours and 30 minutes.

    (Option 2) Book a printer for the appropriate amount of time. Your design will be reviewed in person. Remember to reference the print time that was estimated when you sliced your design.

  3. For people choosing option 1, a Sandbox lead will respond with recommendations for your print and a link to book.

Please note that training must be completed before bookings will be approved.
