3D Printing: Multijet
Our Multijet 3D printer uses multiple bubble jet print heads to deposit both the model material and wax support material.
This wax support material is melted off in the post processing stage. This printer is excellent at producing small details accurately.

BOOKINGS
If you want to print using the Projet, you must book online through 3DPrinterOS. Students are responsible for submitting their 3D printing jobs through this platform.
On the completion of the 3D Printing Induction, you will be added to our 3DPrinterOS lab workgroup which will grant you access to our 3D printers in the online platform.
Use your Sydney University email address to log into 3DPrinterOS.
Booking Process.
Check our file prep checklist, to ensure you have set up your file correctly.
Check/Repair your .3mf or .stl file(s) in NetFabb.
Watch this video on how to use Netfabb.
Compress multiple .stl files into a .zip or .3mf file
upload the .zip/.3mf to 3DPrinterOS.
Request the .zip/.3mf be printed
Your 3D Printing Request will be reviewed and quoted by staff within one business day. We can start your print sooner if you let us know your budget and have funds ready in 3DPrinterOS.
You will receive an email when the job notes are updated within 3DPrinterOS. Please reply promptly to any questions to keep your place in the print queue.
Watch this video to see how to submit your files for the Projet Printer.
Terms & Conditions.
DMaF Lab will 3D print designs exactly how they appear in the digital file.
DMaF will check over your file and let you know if we notice any obvious issues however we do not accept responsibility for issues that have not been fixed.
DMaF Lab staff are not responsible for ensuring that your design does not contain parts that will not print well, fit together or be strong – these are design decisions that should be considered by the student.
All pieces will be packaged for collection or delivery.
File Preparation.
Check you have prepped your file correctly before submitting a 3D Printing Order request by following these steps.
Design Considerations for multijet printing:
The recommended minimum wall thickness is 1mm.
The model must be ‘watertight’. Ensure all surfaces are ‘joined’ (type join) (no holes and gaps) and that you ‘cap’ all volumes (type cap).
All surfaces normal must face outwards. Use the ‘direction’ command (type DIR) in Rhinoceros to check.
Ensure there are not double surfaces.
Exporting your file as an stl:
Scale to print size
Move to origin (0,0)
Select individual objects and Export selected
Save as type: Stereolithography (.STL)
Select 0.01 accuracy
Save as Binary
If you have further questions, please visit the lab during opening hours with your laptop and files.
