💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Confusing additive with subtractive manufacturing.

Additive manufacturing builds objects by adding material layer by layer, unlike traditional methods that remove material.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Choosing 'cutting' because it sounds like shaping.

The sentence is incorrect because additive manufacturing adds material layer by layer, it does not cut material from a block.

4fill in blank

Fill both blanks to complete the explanation of additive manufacturing.

3D Printing

In additive manufacturing, [1] is added [2] to build the final object.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Choosing 'all at once' which is not how additive manufacturing works.

The process adds material layer by layer to gradually build the object.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to describe the additive manufacturing process.

3D Printing

The process starts with a [1] model, then [2] is deposited [3] to create the object.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Choosing 'physical' model instead of 'digital'.

Additive manufacturing begins with a digital model. Material is then deposited layer by layer to build the physical object.
