A brand new Lulzbot TAZ 6 3D printer has arrived at the lab!

Rapid prototyping is a key part of research here at the M3 Robotics Lab; our experiments often require small, custom parts designed for very specific purposes. Having a 3D printer in the lab gives us the flexibility to modify designs and print new parts on our own whenever we need them.

The TAZ 6 features a large print volume (nearly the volume of a soccer ball), automatic bed leveling, and automatic tool head cleaning. The TAZ 6 is also compatible with a wide variety of filament materials and tool head upgrades. We are excited to begin using this technology in the M3 Robotics Lab!
