Why are 3D printers useful?
Simple manufacturing and rapid prototyping
Define and describe FDM
Filament Deposition Modeling, uses a meltable plastic filament to build the print upwards layer-by-layer
Define and describe SLA
Stereolithography, uses a resin that is hardened by a light source to build the print downwards layer-by-layer
True or False: 3D printing materials can be thrown in the trash
False - FDM materials are generally safe, but unused SLA resin requires hazmat disposal
