IDEA Lab 3D printing Materials
The IDEA Lab maintains a collection of filaments and resins in support of a wide array of projects.
The IDEA Lab requires that our own filament and resins be used for 3D print submissions. We do take requests for new types of materials. IDEA Lab staff will evaluate feasibility of new materials requests on a case-by-case basis. Special materials requests will delay print completion times.
To submit a request for something not listed below, please fill out the form located here: IDEA Lab Special Request Form.
