*3D Printer.
I have the $2,499.00 CAD Tinkerine
Which does not have a heated print bed
I also have a 12x12x12 ~$4000 CAD Raise3D N2 V2 which has a dual extruder which is handy but is also very complex,
any working 3D Printer would be fine. The above printers are very reliable but do not necessarily print better than a cheaper one.
Reminder the star "*" beside a material means that in general you don't need the device for every student or pair of students just a few in the lab is good enough.
Total about $4000 USD to get the one full set of equipment. Without the starred items my course would cost about $500 per pair of students. While the lab would need about $5000 worth of starred equipment.
This is not a perfect list as a few of these items will need to be tested in 2024.
