UPM 3D Printing

We offer two services for your convenience, and they are:

• 3D printing:

3D printing for models using our fabulous 3D printer, the FormBot Raptor 700.

• Model Design Review:

if you are not sure how to design 3D printable models, we offer Modelling design review services through our experts to ensure that our customers get exactly what they need.

The 3D Printer is available for making three-dimensional plastic objects using a design that is uploaded from a digital computer file (in STL format).

1. The 3D printer may be used only for lawful purposes*. You will not be permuted to use the printer to create material that is:

   1. 1. • Prohibited by local law.

         • Unsafe, harmful, dangerous, or poses an immediate threat to the well-being of others.

         • Obscene or otherwise inappropriate for the UPM environment.

         • In violation of another’s intellectual property rights. Printers will not be used to reproduce material that is subject to copyright, patent or trademark protection.

2. Only Capstone Lab Coordinator will have hands-on access to the 3D printer.

3. You must use a separate form for each printing request.

4. The 3D model printing outcome is your responsibility if no 3D modeling review is requested.

5. items that are not picked up within 7 days will be thrown away.

6. Requests will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis and as time allows. Priority will be given to UPM members.

7. Print time is limited to working days and the maximum size for a single print is 320 x 320 x 500 mm.

8. The costs of 3D printing are dictated by the model weight and operation costs as per the equation in part a:

   1. Cost (SAR)**=[500SAR/1kg)×weight of the model printed]+Operation Costs

   2. A deposit of 200 SAR is required in advance. Once the deposit is cleared, the 3D printing operators will review the form and confirm the total cost as per the requested services and the deposit will be deducted from the total cost.

   3. Any further questions can be directed to the 3D printing team at: upm3dprinting@gmail.com

   4. The operations costs in the cost equation, part a, depend on the review model service requested: 1) if a design review is requested a flat rate will be charged depending on the model complexity, 2) if no design review is requested then the "operation costs" will be 0 SAR.

      1. Note: if no design review is requested, the model will be printed as per the uploaded model disregarding the outcome of the print.

*it’s the responsibility of the student to verify the eligibility of the item to be printed.

**the cost is exclusive of VAT.
