There are several equipment stations in the hub such as the [[Sewing Machine|sewing machines]], the [[Electronics Workstation|electronics workstation]], and the [[Heat Press|heat press]] to name a few. In the Maker Hub, there is a very clear distinction between things that are considered [[Equipment|equipment]] and things that are considered [[Tools|tools]]. Equipment is a special category of machines because, by definition, ''every'' piece of equipment requires certified training before an individual is allowed to use it. Tools have no certification process; they can be used by anyone who has passed the Maker Hub Introduction quiz. That does not mean that tools are necessarily less dangerous. We just categorize tools differently than equipment. Do not use any equipment that you have not been certified on. All [[Equipment|equipment]] is marked in the Maker Hub with special icons that are displayed either on, around, or above the equipment. Here's an example icon for the [[Sublimation Printer|sublimation printer]]. | There are several equipment stations in the hub such as the [[Sewing Machine|sewing machines]], the [[Electronics Workstation|electronics workstation]], and the [[Heat Press|heat press]] to name a few.
