The Lulzbot Taz 8 is a dual-extruder printer. Features include:
The dual-extruders enable us to print in multiple materials and colors. This means that supports can be printed in a different color or material, allowing easier removal.
Prints in multiple colors must be designed for printing this way. Speak with a 3-D print technician for further details.
The library has a variety of materials to print with and in a variety of colors. Speak with a 3-D print technician about availability.

HIPS |
HIPS 3D printer filament has similar properties to ABS. Since it is relatively strong it can also be sanded. Unlike ABS, HIPS has less potential for warping while printing and is ideal for painting making it popular for use with costumes, models, and miniature figurines. Works well as support material. |

nGen |
Interlocking parts, models, figurines, and functional prototypes print well due to the low shrink rate and excellent layer adhesion. When 3D printed your objects will be glossy, opaque, and bright. nGen 3D printing filament is an excellent choice for 3D printing in close quarters due to its low-odor and styrene-free nature. |

PLA |
Available in a wide variety of colors, offering both opaque or translucent qualities. PLA is commonly used for prototypes, educational and architectural models, and artifact replicas. It can also be treated with a variety of post-processing techniques. PLA is a popular choice for users looking to paint objects after they have been printed, such as costume props and figurines. |
