What does the following image represent?

• The type of plastic

(a)  

The goal of 3D printing is to make products on demand

• True
• False

Slicing is when...

• Layers are stacked by printing
• The 3D file gets "cut up" into hundreds/thousands of coordinates that tell the printer where to go
• You choose how much support the inside of your 3D print will have
• The 3D design software, like TinkerCAD, is used to cut things out of the print. (Grouping things together to make holes, etc.)
