# Standard Model Making

If the subject you are organizing require students to use **standard model making** processes and equipment, and your subject has a **small student cohort (i.e. less than 50 students)**, your subject can use the regular Maker Space job submission and machine use processes that are described on each Maker Space facility website and knowledge base.

Standard Model Making includes:

* Scale architectural models
* Concept models
* Site models 
* Small objects and pieces of furniture (that don't require the use of the Machine Workshop)

To determine if your model making needs are '**standard**' or '**non-standard'** please complete the checklist below. If you answer **YES** to any of the questions your needs are non-standard.

* Do you require your students to create models **larger** than typical architectural scale models such as concept models, site models, and final display models?
* Does your subject have more than 50 students?
* Do you require your studio to have a permanent space or semi-permanent space to build large models or structures?
* Do you require usage of the [Outdoor Design Build Area](https://app.gitbook.com/@msd-makerspaces/s/msdmaker/~/drafts/-M8OOHd6ka3Vvoipm1q9/staff-knowledge/outdoor-design-build-area)?
* Do you require your students to use making processes that are not currently provided by Maker Spaces?
* Do you require your students to use materials that are not currently approved for use in the Maker Spaces?
* Do you require your students to complete a task that utilizes equipment and training in the [Machine Workshop](https://app.gitbook.com/@msd-makerspaces/s/machine-workshop/)?

If you answered "**YES**" to any of the questions above please refer to the Non-standard Model Making section.
