In the last couple of days, Thomas posted a message on the forum about using the 3D printer and was told to download the software and print a certain way. No mention of getting certification or anything before using the printer. We had a similar discussion on the laser cutter approval, without certification being defined, at the last board meeting.

The 3D printer is in use by many people without certification. Bryan and I have discussed what makes the most sense, so we like Dustin's idea of doing peer certification, really makes sense with the 3D printer.
