SOLUTIONS) QUESTIONS & ANSWERS | GRADE A |
100% CORRECT (VERIFIED SOLUTIONS)
Additive Manufacturing .....ANSWER.....The process of joining
materials to create an object from a 3D model, usually adding
layer over layer
What 3D areas is technology for 3D printing advancing?
.....ANSWER.....Printers and printing methods, design software,
and materials
What is additive manufacturing sometimes known as?
.....ANSWER.....rapid prototyping
FFF or FDM .....ANSWER.....Fused Filament Fabrication or Fused
Deposition Method
, Page 2 of 12
What is FFF technology used for .....ANSWER.....Desktop 3D
printing
What is the purpose of a slicer .....ANSWER.....Takes a 3D model
and translates it into individual layers
What is an STL file? .....ANSWER.....Stereo lithography file
format, commonly used in 3D printing
What is SLA .....ANSWER.....a form of 3D printing in which a
computer-controlled low power highly focused ultraviolet laser is
used to create layers from a liquid polymer that hardens on
contact.
List some advantages of FFF Manufacturing .....ANSWER.....Lower
Cost, Lowers barriers to traditional subtractive manufacturing,
reduce part count in an assembly, numerous thermoplastic
filament types and colors, remote monitoring ability, print
multiple filaments, customize percent infill, uses only the material
amount required, no post curing process, faster development
