Different levels of 3D Printing services are available through the Engineering Library, Engineering Electronics Shop, and Electronics Machine Shop.
Engineering Library
The Engineering Library has 2 Bambu Lab P1S 3D printers located in the Creative Space (2001C SC). The Bambu Studio software to prepare files for printing is available on the computer next to the 3D Printers. It is the responsibility of the user to monitor the print for errors – staff do not regularly monitor for issues but may stop a print if something is reported.
Full details on the Bambu Labs P1S can be found on the Prototyping page.
Engineering Electronics Shop
The Engineering Electronics Shop offers consumer-grade 3D printing for $0.20/gram for all university faculty, staff, and students. Colors available are Black, White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Warm Gray, and Cool Gray.

Engineering Machine Shop
The Engineering Machine Shop (EMS) is a modern version of the classic machine shop that includes computer-literate staff, machines, and methods alongside traditional manufacturing equipment and procedures. They offer Advanced additive printing of parts by optimizing resolution, slicing, materials, and build orientation with the use of commercial grade 3D printers. EMS provides concept development, project design, and prototyping services for University of Iowa students, faculty, researchers, and staff. The EMS staff strengths are computer-aided design and manufacturing skills that support the college teaching and research missions, as well as providing services for administrative and research users across campus. As students get the necessary training, they have access to the tools and equipment in the facility.
