Exploring Moulding and Printing Techniques

What is the first step in the injection moulding process?

• Cooling the mould

• Clamping the mould

• Injecting the material

• Ejecting the finished product

Which material is commonly used in Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D printing?

• Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

• Polycarbonate

What is a typical application of vacuum forming?

• Creating metal parts for engines

• Producing plastic packaging

During the vacuum forming process, what happens after the plastic sheet is heated?

• The plastic sheet is cooled rapidly

• The plastic sheet is stretched over a mould

• The plastic sheet is cut into pieces

• The plastic sheet is painted

In the context of 3D printing, what does the term "additive manufacturing" mean?
