All authorizations (formerly "Certification") require membership.
See Also Broken Authorization
General
- It depends on the tool/equipment.
- See the Authorization Policy for information about getting authorized to use tools.
- Check the wiki page for the particular tool or piece of equipment you're interested in to find out how to get authorized on it.
- Tools and equipment should have an equipment label on it that lists the appropriate wiki page URL.
- Check the Google calendar and Meetup calendar for scheduled authorizations.
- Volunteer Authorizers should have regularly scheduled office hours.
- You can also contact the Area Hosts or the designated contact listed on that tool's wiki page.
- For details about the process, visit Authorization:_An_Overview_for_New_Members
On the Laser Cutter
Currently scheduled on a request basis, conducted by a limited number of trainer/authorizers. Check the mailing list and calendar for scheduled sessions, or start a new thread with a date and time that works for you. These happen frequently, but irregularly. For best results, find other members that also want to be authorized and agree on some good days and times that work for the group.
On The 3D Printer
Currently scheduled on a request basis. Check the mailing list for scheduled sessions, or start a new thread requesting a class with a date and time that works for you. The MakerBot_Replicator and 3dSystems_CubePro do not require authorization.
On Cold Metal Machines (Tier 1)
Monitor the mailing list and calendar for scheduled authorizations.
On The Metal Lathe
Anna Yu performs Lathe Certification every Tuesday. You must email her first. Contact information is on the lathe's own wiki page.
This currently requires Tier 1 metals certification.
On Wood Shop Tools
Authorizations are generally Thursday evenings. Check the events calendar
On the Industrial Serger Sewing Machine
Shellie Lewis (Arts & Crafts Area Host) generally holds Arts & Crafts & Digital Media & Knitting office hours Fridays at 8:30 and gives instruction on the Serger Sewing Machine. Check the Google calendar.
On The ShopBot
There are 2 required classes for complete Shopbot Authorization. The first class is a software-only class to cover CNC concepts and the VCarve software. This class is unlimited capacity, so anyone can attend. The class is a prerequisite for the second class, the hands-on ShopBot authorization, which will be significantly shortened since it will only cover the specifics of the tool itself.
If a class is not scheduled in the Meetup.com calendar, check the mailing list for scheduled sessions. If one has not happened for some time, you would like to request a class for different times than are regularly available, start a new thread requesting a class with a date and time that works for you and contact the ara host or volunteer authorizer.
On The Front Door
Come to Orientation on the 4th Sunday of the month at 4:00pm and come to a general meeting on Tuesday at 8:00pm and get your ID verified by two board members.
