2.1. Process and Working Principle

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is Fused Deposition Modeling?

   Hint

   Think about how it builds objects.

2. 2.

   Name one advantage of Laminated Object Manufacturing.

   Hint

   Consider its efficiency for larger parts.

3. 3.

   What is the main material used in FDM?

   • Ceramics
   • Thermoplastic
   • Metals

   Hint

   Think of the materials used in typical 3D printing.

4. 4.

   True or False: Laminated Object Manufacturing can create parts with complex internal geometries.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   What do you remember about LOM's capabilities?

5. 5.

   How would the material properties differ between parts created by FDM and UC, and what impact does this have on their applications?

   Hint

   Consider the mechanical properties needed in aerospace compared to consumer products.

6. 6.

   Evaluate the potential for integrating FDM and LOM in a hybrid manufacturing system and the benefits it could bring.

   Hint

   Think about how one process can compensate for the other's limitations.
