What are the basic characteristics of 3D Printing?
3D objects are made in layers, it is an additive process
3D objects are created using a subtractive process
3D objects print from the computer

What is an extruder?
It is the part of the printer that melts the filament.
It is the part of the printer that pushes the filament down.
It is the part of the printer that holds the 3D object as it prints. It is heated to a lower temperature.
What is a nozzle?
It is the part of the printer that melts the filament.
It is the part of the printer that pushes the filament down.
It is the part of the printer that holds the 3D object as it prints. It is heated to a lower temperature.
What is the print bed?
It is the part of the printer that melts the filament.
It is the part of the printer that pushes the filament down.

What does layer resolution mean?
A kind of filament.
The shape of the object.
How detailed the object prints.
A file type.
What happens during slicing?
The filament is cut.
The designed object is turned into layers.
Extra material is printed inside the object.
Extra material is printed outside to support overhangs.
What is infill?
Extra material printed inside to avoid collapse. We usually print at 20%.
The designed object is turned into layers.
Extra material printed on the outside of the object to support overhangs.
The filament is cut.
What are supports?
Extra material printed inside to avoid collapse. We usually print at 20%.
The designed object is turned into layers.
Extra material printed on the outside of the object to support overhangs.
The filament is cut.
What is an STL?
The initial pre-sliced file.
The final sliced file.
A type of filament.
The coding program.
What is a G-Code?
The initial pre-sliced file.
The final sliced file that the printer reads.
A type of filament.
The coding program.
