1. Who can operate the equipment?
Regular users undergo mandatory safety training. Also encourage users to undergo training on equipment to (a) learn new skills and (b) reduce dependence on machine managers.
- Hand tools, power tools: Operated by users
- Advanced tools: Operated by users under supervision after training - Heavy, expensive equipment: Operated by machine managers only
2. What are the rules for bulk fabrication/mass manufacturing at T Works?
T Works is not designed for mass manufacturing. However, legitimate situations may arise where users need to fabricate more than a few units. Such decisions will be taken on a case to case basis.
3. What after prototyping?
T Works will connect startups to manufacturing services providers and assist with market access in collaboration with other incubators and accelerators.
