3d Printing Tools & Materials

What is 3D Printing?

• The process of printing flat packs and assembling it into a 3D model

• The process of creating a digital model and printing a blueprint for it to be built

• The process of making a 3 dimensional object from a digital model

• All of the above

What is CAD short for?

• Computer Aided Design

• Computer Assisted Design

• Computer Added Design

• Computer Abstracted Design

Additive manufacturing is the process of...

• Making additional changes to a previously manufactured object

• Creating different levels in your CAD model to add onto an existing 3D object

• Adding different aspects and models to create a complete 3D object

• Laying down successive layers of material to create a 3D object

What are the advantages of additive manufacturing? (Select all that apply)

• You can easily change the object after it has been printed

• Almost any shaped object can be created

• It allows objects to be printed faster

• Less wastage- you only use the required materials
