Last changed: 18 March 2024
There is a Makerspace with a 3D printer in Alnarp, and a 3D printer in Uppsala. You need to take an introductory course to book and use the printers.
3D printer in Uppsala
In Uppsala there is a 3D printer of the brand Bambu studio and it is located in the group room called Study lab.
Sign up for an introductory session to learn how to use the 3D printer. The training takes about one hour and gives you the basics of how the printer and the programme work. After the introductory session, you can book the printer and use it on your own.
