Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

The Material Expert: You are joining two pieces of acrylic (plastic). List the correct Tool for the job and one Safety precaution you must take.

  • Solution:
  • Tool: Acrylic cement (solvent) or a specialized plastic adhesive.
  • Safety: Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling chemical fumes.
  • Hint: Review the "Tool and Material Mastery" section.

💡 Hint: Review the "Tool and Material Mastery" section.

Challenge 2 Hard

Precision Analysis: Your specification says the product must be exactly wide. Your final build is . Is this a demonstration of high technical skill? Why or why not?

  • Answer: No, it is not. A difference is a significant margin of error in product design. High technical skill requires Precision, where the build matches the Specifications exactly. This error suggests a mistake in either marking or cutting.
  • Hint: Look at the "Accuracy" bullet point.

💡 Hint: Look at the "Accuracy" bullet point.
