Additive manufacturing is often discussed alongside 3D printers. What is additive manufacturing the process of?

• Having multiple steps that add together to create the product.

• Creating products by the use of adding material rather than taking it away. Often building a layer at a time.

• Adding up the weight of the separate components to try and keep the overall weight down.

• Using additives in food production.

Mechanical fasteners are ​ (a)   methods of joining materials and ​ (b)   ​ damage the product with their use. They are commonly used on products that will require ​ (c)   .

• temporary
• do not
• maintenance
• permanent
• often
• no maintenance
• do

Answer explanation

Due to mechanical fasteners (nuts, bolts and screws) being able to be removed relatively easily and in most cases without causing damage they are seen as being temporary.

For example a weld would be a permanent method. This is because removing the weld would require cutting and grinding the weld out; damaging the weld and potentially the material around it.

Manufacturing Processes -

Applying a finish to a product is...........

• Useful because otherwise you cannot manufacture it.

• Completing it on time with no errors.

• Altering the outside of a product to provide improved properties, characteristics or aesthetics.

• Going through the entire design cycle in a systematic approach.

Manufacturing Processes -

Match the following picture to the basic process description. All of these are finishing techniques.

• Electroplating

• 
• Spray Painting

• 
• Polishing

• 
• Galvanising

• 
• Linishing

Manufacturing Processes -

Powder coating is a finishing technique. Why is it often used instead of painting?

• A thicker end coating that provides more durability.

• It is cheaper which allows more profit to be made.

• The ability to obtain multiple finishes such as matt, gloss and rugged.

• Epoxies are often used that provide greater resistance to impact than paint.
