3D Printing Policy

The Idea Garden 3D Printers are available for university staff, students, and faculty and may only be used for lawful purposes. It is not permitted to use the Idea Garden’s 3D Printers to create material which is:

• Prohibited by local, state, or federal law. 
• Unsafe, harmful, dangerous, or considered by Idea Garden staff to pose an immediate threat to the well-being of others.
• Considered by Idea Garden staff to be obscene or otherwise inappropriate for the academic environment.
• In violation of another’s intellectual property rights. 

Every print must first be reviewed by an Idea Garden Staff member before starting the printing process. Since the Idea Garden does not operate as a service, every model must be sliced and handled by the student, staff, or faculty member who is requesting that print under the supervision and guidance of the staff present in the Idea Garden. If a print fails and needs to be sliced again, the student, staff, or faculty member is responsible for returning to the space to check on the progress and status of their print. 

Here in the Idea Garden we want to keep the focus of 3D printing to educational purposes. As such, students have the ability to experiment with 3D printing and are allowed to print anything they desire under 100 grams total of material, with approval. All students are entitled to 100 grams of material in the Idea Garden, certain students may seek an exception up to 300 grams of material for classes and projects requiring 3d printing. Furthermore, if you are prototyping parts or pieces of parts you may be able to seek further exceptions on these gram limits depending on approval by Idea Garden Staff. 

By submitting a request you agree that your requested model will be used for non-clinical applications only. If seeking models for clinical usage, please contact IUI legal counsel. 

We ask that students refrain from touching the printers without staff supervision and let a staff member know immediately if they think that a print might be failing. While we do have the ability to offer a limited amount of color variety, we cannot guarantee any specific color at any time. When a staff member is assisting a student, staff, or faculty member we will also notify them if we see any major flaws in the model and warn them of any parts that we think might not turn out how they expect them to. 

Students who are planning on using 3D Printing as a part of a larger project should discuss the project with the Idea Garden Staff. All students, staff, and faculty should expect to allow at least 2 weeks for printing and at least half an hour of time spent in the space learning about 3D printing prior to requesting to print something in the Idea Garden. The Idea Garden reserves the right to turn away any print requests with a deadline approaching 72 hours or less. 

Please also be aware that unlike the print services on campus, we are a first come first serve location. Meaning that if we have someone come in that needs to print something that takes eight hours, their print will be started on the next available machine. We do not at anytime create a queue when multiple users need to print. It is the responsibility of the individual to come back at the next available time.  During these times, we cannot guarantee a quick turnaround rate for any prints that come in and we reserve the right to refer students to other 3D Printing locations on campus. 

Virtual Reality Equipment Policy

We ask that the students treat the computers and equipment in the space with respect. Additionally we ask that the students do not download games that are unauthorized and do not log out of the Steam accounts that are associated with each machine with the intent to download their own personal games onto the computers in the Idea Garden. If students have a request for a game that we currently do not have, they are free to inquire with an Idea Garden staff member about the possibility of getting that game in the future. 

We also ask that the students do not calibrate or adjust the positioning of the VR space while in the Idea Garden unless given approval from the staff to do so. 

Safety bands must be worn at all times. Repeated neglect of this rule may result in revoked privileges.  

Event Request Policy / Event Policy

Here in the Idea Garden we enjoy helping students, staff, and faculty plan events in the Idea Garden. To schedule an event in the space please email igarden@iu.edu where you will speak with the Idea Garden lab coordinator about accommodations that we can provide to make your event plans come to life. 

There may be times where a student group or faculty member has reserved the Idea Garden for an event in which other students will not be able to continue using the space. We hope that students who are asked politely by staff to leave will be respectful of these times and events and that they know that they are welcome to return to the space once the event has finished and resume enjoying the Idea Garden. 

Lost and Found

If items are left unattended and the owner of the belongings is not known to the Idea Garden staff, these items will be stored up to 30 days after which any unclaimed items will be disposed of. We reserve the right to discard of any paper products or items containing food waste that are not retrieved by the end of the same day. If larger items or more expensive items are similarly left behind, such as backpacks, wallets, computers, or other electronic devices, by the end of the day campus police will be notified of such objects to be picked up. To reach the Lost and Found branch of the campus police, you can dial (317) 274 - 2058 to report or inquire about retrieving lost items. 

Food and Drink Policy

We ask that students be mindful and respectful of their surroundings. Food and drink is allowed in the Idea Garden, however we ask that students refrain from eating in front of or near computers. All drinks should have a cap or lid and any open containers of liquid should be kept away from the computers or other equipment in the space. Additionally if students make a mess in the space, they can ask the Idea Garden staff for assistance with cleaning up. We want to make sure that the space is welcoming to all who enter it and that it continues to stay that way.

During events, there may be times that students with food are asked to eat their food outside of the Idea Garden to avoid causing a disturbance. There is plenty of seating nearby that students can use just for this purpose.

All Furnishings, decorations, and technology are to remain in their proper location and may not be moved to other areas without the prior approval of a member of the Idea Garden staff. 

Maintenance

Only IU staff members or University-authorized contractors are allowed to conduct maintenance on/in the Idea Garden. Students are not permitted to make any repairs. If a student should notice something is damaged or otherwise requiring maintenance, we ask that they talk to a staff member in the Idea Garden.

Tampering with fire safety equipment is a federal offense and may result in criminal charges, fines, disciplinary action, and/or termination of resident housing contracts. This includes fire extinguishers, fire alarm pulls, smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, fire panels, propping fire doors, etc. Covering smoke detectors is strictly prohibited. This includes the hanging of tapestries or other items from the ceiling or sprinkler heads.

Violations of this policy may result in judicial action, including, but not limited to, fines and education sanction. Please only smoke in designated areas. There is a $25.00 fine for smoking in non-smoking areas.
