AOC 3D Scanner Access Policy
Authorizations- Before using the 3D scanner, you must first attend an authorization session at the AOC. Authorization sessions provide crucial information on file preparation, scanner operation and safety procedures. Currently enrolled students, faculty and staff can be authorized for 3D scanning.
- The information covered during authorizations will change as software and hardware are updated or reconfigured. To keep users up to date on 3D scanning techniques and policies, authorizations will be good for one calendar year, after which you will need to be re-authorized.
- View the authorization schedule and sign up in person at the Advanced Output Center.
Reservations
- Reservations must be made in person through a lab monitor at least 3 hours before the time being reserved, and no more than 2 weeks in advance. Same-day reservations are not available.
- Reservations are non-transferable from one person to another. You can only make and use reservations for yourself.
- Reservations can be rescheduled if you notify the AOC at least 3 hours in advance of your reserved timeslot.
- You will be given a 10-minute grace period to show up for your reserved time slot. After the grace period expires, your slot will become available for other users.
- In the unlikely event that your reserved time slot must be canceled due to equipment malfunction or other unforeseeable issues, you will be notified as quickly as possible and given the option to make a new reservation at the earliest available time slot.
Walk-ins
- All authorized users are able to walk in and use the 3D scanner when it has not been reserved in advance, or when a no-show for a reservation occurs. Walk-in users must check in with a lab monitor prior to scanning.
- For walk-in usage, you can use as much time as is available, up to when the next reservation starts or the AOC closes, whichever comes first.
Special Conditions
- The 3D Scanner can NOT leave the 12th floor of the Sullivan Center.
- Late returns will be fined $50/day.
- The 3D Scanner is only available for checkout Monday through Friday.
