Overview
Used for NanoScribe print job preparation.
The DeScribe STL import wizard prepares a three-dimensional CAD model for printing with field-proven software recipes. Users can also develop and retrieve their own individual and application-specific recipes to customize print jobs at any time. When the printing parameters are set, a preview of the design is available in 3D. Users can even simulate the printing process in 3D.
Accessing
Cleanroom
DeScribe is available on the NanoScribe computer in the cleanroom.
Cost Recovery Virtual Machine
For prepration of larger jobs, DeScribe is also available via a cost recovery on demand virtual machine in Azure. Pricing is currently $2.50 / hour for each hour the virtual machine is online. Send email to cnf-computing@cornell.edu to request access specifying a start time for access. When finished, send another email to cnf-computing@cornell.edu that you have completed your work so that we can shut down the virtual machine and end charging.
The virtual machine is a NV24s_v3 ... 24 cpu cores, 224GB RAM, 1.5 TB of temporary disk space, and two Tesla M60 GPUs.
To login to the virtual machine and have graphics work properly, you must use the full Windows Remote Desktop client and not web browser access (there is not a full Windows Remote Desktop client for Linux). Note that this client is not the Remote Desktop Connection client that is built into Windows.
