ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS

1) Observe the safety protocols followed while using an FDM printer (e.g., handling
hotend, turning off machine). List at least five essential safety precautions.

2) Explain the Fused Deposition modeling process with neat sketch.

3) Identify and describe the major components of an FDM 3D printer (e.g., extruder, hot
end, build plate, stepper motors). Observe it during a live print and explain its
function.

4) Demonstrate how the extruder functions during printing. What happens if the nozzle
temperature is incorrect for a specific filament?

1) Study and make a conclusion from the Exercise by varying the layer thickness,
orientation, fill density, speed, etc for your selected part in CURA software.
