If a 3D printer deposits 0.1 mm thick layers and prints an object 5 mm tall, how many layers does it print?
medium📝 Analysis Q4 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Calculate number of layers
Divide total height by layer thickness: 5 mm / 0.1 mm = 50 layers.Step 2: Confirm calculation makes sense
50 layers is reasonable for 5 mm height with 0.1 mm layers.Final Answer:
50 layers -> Option BQuick Check:
Layers = height ÷ thickness = 50 [OK]
Quick Trick: Divide total height by layer thickness to find layers [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Multiplying instead of dividing
- Confusing mm units
- Choosing too large or too small numbers
