Hadenfeldt says his in-plant is recovering costs on its 3D printer, and at the current pace of work, he expects to pay for the printer (which cost about $2,200) in two or three years. But he stresses that the in-plant didn't get it to make money but to fulfill a need.
"There were departments that had these printers, but nothing for the general student or faculty-staff that wasn't associated with those departments," he says.
