The use of the equipment is subject to strict rules in order to guarantee the safety of people and to preserve it. Before using any tools from the MASTIC fablab, the user must have followed and validated the corresponding training.

  • No tools or equipment may leave the MASTIC fablab.
  • After use, the equipment must be put back in its place. If the storage location is unknown, ask a manager.
  • After using the machines, the user must ensure that the workspace they have used is clean and take care not to leave any waste.

  • Redo the focus adjustment and check the materials and thickness chosen before each cut.
  • Wait until the air extraction is off before opening the cutter cover.

  • Turn on the air extraction, position it and respect the distance above the work area.
  • Never place the soldering irons anywhere other than in their supports.
  • Clean the work surface after use.

Knowledge sharing:

Once the project is finished, the user writes an article on the fablab website with a photo of his creation accompanied by a brief description. As part of a research project, this information may be transmitted after the publication of the work relating to the creations made at the MASTIC fablab. A link to edit the article will be sent to you by the fablab managers.

Violations:

Users who do not respect all the rules of this Charter may be denied access to the MASTIC fablab temporarily or permanently. The MASTIC fablab managers expressly reserve the right to refuse access and/or restrict access to a user to the MASTIC fablab. This Charter may be revised at any time by the MASTIC fablab managers. Users will be informed of any changes to the latter by electronic means (email or website) and/or by posting.
