+# [Sensorica 3D Printer](http://nrp.sensorica.co/accounting/resource/411/)
+
+This is a case of rights and responsibilities that are aimed at coordination between humans in the use of a valuable piece of shared equipment.
+
+Sensoricans contributed to a fund to buy a commercial-quality 3D printer.
+
+The printer requires some training to use and can be damaged by misuse. So a few individuals have designated roles for managing its use, for example:
+
+* Managers: people who did not contribute to the fund must get permission for use from a manager.
+* Trainers and certifiers: before you can use the printer, you must be trained and certified to be competent to do so. Otherwise, you must have a certified technician do your 3D printing work, and if it is for income-producing purposes, pay them.
+
+Users of the 3D printer for income-producing purposes must pay into a maintenance fee and also distribute some of the income to the people who contributed to the purchase fund.
+
+Sensorica has plans for more formal scheduling of the 3D printer, and also for digital access cards that would also automatically log use.
