2.2. Equipment and Specifications

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is FDM?

   Hint

   Think about how materials are processed in layers.

2. 2.

   What is Layer Thickness in 3D printing?

   Hint

   Consider how thin or thick each layer might be.

3. 3.

   What does FDM stand for?

   • Futuristic Design Model
   • Fused Deposition Modeling
   • Flexible Design Model

   Hint

   Remember the focus on how materials are deposited in layers.

4. 4.

   Are LOM machines only compatible with plastic sheets?

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider different sheet materials beyond plastics.

5. 5.

   Design a hypothetical 3D printed part using FDM for the aerospace industry. Describe the specifications of the printer you would use, considering build volume and layer thickness.

   Hint

   Think about the specific requirements needed in aerospace applications.

6. 6.

   Compare the benefits of LOM with drawbacks for producing a scale model of a building. Discuss material choices and limitations of the process.

   Hint

   Consider both speed versus quality in your analysis.
