63 63  There may be some cases where researchers would like to have RPS Staff fabricate parts for them, instead of fabricating parts themselves. For this type of work, you must use the university's iLabs system. The iLabs pathway is not an option for self-use-only equipment such as hardness testers or microscope. **Please note, technicians cannot estimate completion dates for jobs due to unpredictable events such as print failures and machine outages.**

65 -To submit an Research request, please use the relevant submission form on [[our iLabs page>>url:https://tamu.corefacilities.org/sc/5956/rapid-prototyping-studio/?tab=about]]. (If you do not have an iLabs account, you will need to create one and be accepted into a research lab by your PI before submitting a request. If your PI has not used iLabs before and requires assistance learning the system, please contact Ashlyn Montgomery at [[amontgomery@tamu.edu>>mailto:amontgomery@tamu.edu]] or iLabs support directly at [[ilab-support@agilent.com>>mailto:ilab-support@agilent.com]] for assistance, as RPS staff cannot help with initial account setup and training.) If this is your first time submitting a request, please read the following directions first, to ensure proper submission.
