3D Modeling and Printing

What is a prototype?

• An early simple model, taken from your sketches

• Your brainstorm ideas

• Your sketches

• An actual working model of your idea

What is a constraint?

• A limit or restriction

• A reaction

• A guess

• A sketch

A process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. → 3D printing

• True

• False

A Widely used file format for 3D printing

• STL (standard telestration language)

• Infill

• Workplane

• Additive Manufacturing

Used to prop up any sections of a print that will not stand alone

• nozzle

• printbed

• slicer

• support

The interior structure of a 3D printed model.

• nozzle

• infill

• x-axis

• y-axis

The process of building up a three-dimensional object, one thin layer at a time.

• Polylactic Acid (PLA)

• Additive Manufacturing

• Printbed

• Filament

The base material that's used to 3D print objects via fused deposition modeling.

• nozzle

• filament

• printbed

• slicer

Overhangs are...

• ...portions of the model that are suspended in mid-air.

• ...high angle, overhang, and bridging sections of the model.

• ...anchor point on the other side of the gap.

In this model overhangs are

• marked in red.

• marked in yellow.

• marked in black.
