EXAM EXAM WITH CORRECT ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
, What are the different ways you can send a file to a printer? - ANSWERover wifi
network and using a USB thumbdrive
What are some ways to move a file from the computer to the machine? - ANSWERall of
these, USB printer cable, USB thumbfrive, over wifi
Scaling down a mating part will achieve what? - ANSWERMake 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? -
ANSWERcut 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? - ANSWERsupport
True or false. Adding more triangles to an STL file will make the final part finish better. -
ANSWERtrue
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? -
ANSWERGenerative design
A common feature of 3D printing slicer programs is one that helps a part stick build
plate. What is this feature called? - ANSWERraft
true or false. Raft must be modeled in the CAD model before sending the file to the
slicer program. - ANSWERfalse
true or false. Supports for overhang areas must be modeled into the CAD model before
sending it to the slicer software. - ANSWERfalse
true or false. Clearance must be modeled in at the CAD level in order for parts to fit
together after they are printed. - ANSWERfalse, you can scale the part in the slicer
software in order to maintain design intent at the CAD level
