UBC Rapid
3D printing, prototyping
We’re UBC Rapid, a dedicated Engineering Student Team based at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Our core focus is harnessing rapid prototyping technology—especially 3D printing—to help turn your product ideas into tangible, physical models.
We’re here to provide low-cost consulting and printing services to our community, driving innovation through expert use of Computer-Aided Design (CAD). Whether you need a simple part or a complex model, we aim to make advanced manufacturing accessible and cost-effective.
As a specialized engineering team, our primary manufacturing power lies in accessible, rapid prototyping:
- 3D Printing (Our major interest and most popular service)
- Rapid Prototyping Technology
We offer a range of services designed to help you with your design and fabrication needs:
- 3D Printing Services (Low cost)
- CAD Modelling Service (We pair experienced CAD designers with individuals to create high-quality 3D models for personal, non-commercial projects, free of charge)
- Consulting Services (Low cost)
We are actively expanding our range of materials through research to promote innovative and sustainable practices:
- Filament Recycling (We are designing and building a Filament Recycler to convert waste, like failed prints and supports, into reusable filament)
- Exotic Materials Research (We are researching the properties and feasibility of using innovative options like copper-infused filament, nylon, and many others)
Popular Projects and Applications
- Functional Prototyping (Generating physical models from product ideas using CAD)
- Custom 3D Model Creation (High-quality, non-commercial 3D models for unique inventions and personal projects via our free Modelling Service)
- Sustainability in Manufacturing (Development of our Filament Recycler project)
