AM Advantages

Which of the following is a key advantage of Additive Manufacturing?

• High waste material

• Design freedom with no extra cost

• Requires extensive tooling

• Limited geometry options

How does topology optimisation benefit Additive Manufacturing?

• It reduces the need for support structures.

• It increases material usage to improve strength.

• It eliminates the need for CAD design.

• It allows for weight reduction and improved part performance.

Which industry benefits most from the reduction in part mass achieved through AM?

• Aerospace

• Consumer Goods

• Automotive

• Construction

Additive Manufacturing eliminates the need for (a)   , which speeds up production time and reduces costs.

The ability to create complex geometries and integrate multiple parts into a single build is known as (a)   .

AM is considered more environmentally friendly because it uses (a)   material compared to traditional subtractive processes.

Additive Manufacturing allows for the customisation of parts at no additional cost.

• True

• False

AM processes are typically more wasteful than traditional machining processes.

• True

• False

The material properties of AM parts are always inferior to those produced using forging or casting.

• True

• False

Additive Manufacturing enables the production of lightweight components, which is especially important in industries like aerospace.
