Printers
The TURING Lab currently has 4 3D printers with plenty of scanning equipment and supplies for students to create 3D models of pretty much whatever they want. The lab has equipment to scan in existing models, such as an XBox Kinect for scanning humans. The printers are accesible to any Transy student who posesses the willingness to learn how to use the equipment and obtains permission from Dr. Moorman.
Kobold
Kobold is a dual-filament printer---you can make models in two different colors or use a water-dissolvable filament to print supports for complicated productions. It can print in a single filament up to build volumes of 215 x 215 x 200 mm; dual filament printing can go up to 197 x 215 x 200 mm
The Ultimaker 2 uses an open filament system, allowing for printing in many different materials. The TURING Lab has a supply of PLA filament in a variety of colors. It can print models up to 223 mm wide and 205 mm tall, and is a great printer to begin to learn the basics of 3D printing.
Marley
Marley is the most flexible 3D printer with respect to filament. He can print with a variety of unique types including wood, carbon, and flexible.
Big BOI
Unlike the other 3D printers in the lab, the Projet 460 printer prints using sediment. It sculpts layers of sediment in to full-color 3D models, which is heated up and hardened inside the printer. After printing, though, the models have to be post-processed as they are too fragile for normal use.
3D Scanning Equipment
3D printers require plenty of additional hardware to make detailed models. The lab has an XBox Kinect to scan humans. TURING also has a Matter & Form 3D digitizer that can scan smaller objects.
Kinect
The XBox Kinect is a capable depth camera and enables us to do full body scans.
3D Scanner V2
The Matter & Form scanner is capable of producing point clouds and mesh models of small objects.
