Club members gathered for the 3D Derby, showcasing their custom-designed and printed cars before the races.
Students participating in a CAD workshop session, collaborating and learning 3D design fundamentals in a hands-on classroom setting.
Tier 3 printers Hermes, Poseidon, and Zeus are for advanced users tackling specialized projects that need engineering materials, large builds, or multi-color/multi-material prints.
Tier 2 expands on Tier 1 with advanced features like a heated chamber for stronger materials, a multi-material system, and extra printers to keep up during busy times.
A dedicated rack of Tier 1 3D printers available for student use, including machines such as Nick Fury, Spider-Man, Black Widow, Groot, Iron Man, and Hawkeye. These entry-level printers are primarily for PLA filament and are ideal for beginners.
We’re a community of Oregon State University students passionate about 3D printing or just curious to learn! Whether you’ve never touched a printer or you’ve built your own from scratch, you’re welcome here.
Every term, we explore 3D printing and design, grow our skills through hands-on projects and challenges, and host events that bring makers together.

We have a variety of ways you can get involved with us this year:
1) Print Competitions – Design and print creative builds to meet fun challenges.
2) 3D Derby – Our spin on Pinewood Derby, but with 3D printed cars.
3) Bridge Competition – Test your design skills by printing the strongest bridge.
4) Collaborative Projects – Past builds include drone mounts, medals, trophies, birdhouses, and more with new ideas like prosthetics on the horizon.
5) General Printing – Just want to print and hang out? That’s great too.
