MaCSE - Facilities 3D Printing

We are equipped with a new multi-tool ZMorph VX 3D printer.
zmorph vx printer

The printer will be used :

  • for plastic 3D printings with the possibility of mixing 2 types of plastic (dual head)
  • CNC cutting and engraving
  • laser engraving and cutting
  • thick paste printing

As we are always developing new experimental setups or adapting existing apparatus, 3D printing is a way to achieve quickly and easily prototypes and functional parts.

But also, 3D printing will be a way to develop new deposition and annealing techniques for glasses and polymers.
