<div dir="ltr">In July of 2015, the faculty looked at three devices being considered as equipment for our new building. The first choice was a CubePro but the model would be too small for your requirements. Second choice was the MakerBot Replicator but again it has limited volume. Third choice was a Builder unit with a volume of 385mm x 370mm x 900mm (LxWxH). None were actually ordered due to funding needs elsewhere in the project. The consensus was reached by faculty from the production/design area of theatre and the sculpture area of the Visual Arts program. This is probably not much help to you, but it was our experience. Since then, the Theatre folk have gotten a small 3D printer, but sadly I can't remember the model. It would be too small for your requirements in any event.<div>Steve</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Stephen E.
