“Druk 3D pozwala naukowcom i inżynierom szybko tworzyć prototypy i przesuwać granice tego, co jest możliwe.”
CERN — Europejska Organizacja Badań Jądrowych — od 1954 roku bada cząstki tworzące materię w Genewie, zatrudniając ponad 12 000 osób i obsługując Wielki Zderzacz Hadronów. Drukarki Original Prusa działają we wszystkich jego działach, a niektóre z wydrukowanych przez nie części trafiają do tunelu.
Keeping it aligned is challenging because of the Earth’s own movements — and at this scale, everything on it must be custom-made.
“We use 3D printing a lot. It’s not just for testing, we also use it to create parts that go directly into the tunnels of the Large Hadron Collider.”
Jonas Kampp, Mechatronics engineer at CERN (Prusa blog)


“3D printing allows scientists and engineers to quickly create prototypes and push the boundaries of what’s possible,”
Dina Zimmermann, Structural engineer at IdeaSquare, CERN
Tell us what you are building. We will come back with the machines, the materials and the parts other research groups print first.

Customer story — ETH Zurich
The architecture department’s HYTAC programme trains 300+ students a term, and each of them assembles an Original Prusa kit in two days before printing anything. It started as a maintenance problem: the university could fund the machines, but not the people to keep them running.
“I can’t imagine a world without 3D printing. It just wouldn’t work!”
