3D printing

Over the last 18 months we have been piloting the use of the 3D printer.  We have been very impressed with the interest and uptake in the use of accessing the 3D printer either on a loan basis or e-mailing parts via Clounagh.  Having seen the potential and with further projected success of this facility, we have now established a cost for rapid prototyping.  For further information click here.  Please note costs are for material only and not the actual use of the machine

There have been some issues with the 'sheet format' option in Solidworks, and having access to this feature. To overcome this problem we have added a help sheet and the necessary files to clounagh .org. Click here to view the link to these files and helpsheet.

CNC provision - update!

We are very pleased to announce the arrival of some very high end CAD/CAM equipment at Clounagh.  In addition to more Roland MDX-40 machines, the Clounagh Centre have now facilities for laser cutting and 3D printing.  These machines are available for schools to use, whereby sending files to Clounagh you can watch the manufacturing process via video conferencing.  Contact us if you are interested in going 3D!
