SOLUTION GRADED A+

●● What are some ways to move a file from the computer to the
machine?
Answer: all of these, USB printer cable, USB thumbfrive, over wifi


●● Scaling down a mating part will achieve what?
Answer: Make it easier to make that part to another because of the
slightly smaller scale


●● If a part is too big for a machine what is the best option to be able to
print it?
Answer: cut the model into smaller parts and print them, then glue them
together once they are all complete


●● As a general rule, when the overhang of a part's geometry exceeds a
certain angle, the use of what type of feature should used to achieve a
good print?
Answer: support

, ●● True or false. Adding more triangles to an STL file will make the
final part finish better.
Answer: true


●● While CAD programs such as SOLIDWORKS allow to print directly
form inside the CAD software, the export of the files is still sometimes
necessary. What is the most common file type for exporting a part to a
3D Printing slicer program?
Answer: .STL


●● The creation of advanced part structures is aided by what type of
CAD design tool?
Answer: Generative design


●● A common feature of 3D printing slicer programs is one that helps a
part stick build plate. What is this feature called?
Answer: raft


●● true or false. Raft must be modeled in the CAD model before
sending the file to the slicer program.
Answer: false


●● true or false. Supports for overhang areas must be modeled into the
CAD model before sending it to the slicer software.
