By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
- Identify key file formats used in 3D printing.
Answer: The most common format is .STL (Stereolithography). - Explain what a slicer software does.
Answer: A slicer converts 3D models into layer-by-layer instructions for printers. - Set up print parameters like layer height, infill, and supports.
Answer: Students will adjust slicer settings for accuracy, strength, and quality. - Understand how 3D printers construct physical objects.
Answer: Printers use melted filament to build from bottom to top, layer by layer.
