hard📝 Application Q15 of 15

3D Printing - Fundamentals

AIt fuses powder layer by layer, allowing complex shapes without supports

BIt uses liquid resin that hardens instantly, reducing build time

CIt extrudes melted plastic filament, which is cheaper than powder

DIt cuts sheets of material and glues them, making strong parts

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify key SLS advantage
SLS fuses powder layer by layer, enabling complex shapes without needing support structures or molds.
Step 2: Compare options to SLS features
Only It fuses powder layer by layer, allowing complex shapes without supports correctly describes SLS's powder fusion and support-free building.
Final Answer:
It fuses powder layer by layer, allowing complex shapes without supports -> Option A
Quick Check:
SLS advantage = powder fusion + no supports needed [OK]

Quick Trick: SLS builds complex parts by fusing powder without supports [OK]
