Produce parts using computer-driven additive and subtractive processes.

Production should include

• following the engineering design process
• selecting materials, based on their properties, to construct the product solution
• following standard processing techniques, given the material and end design
• determining economic feasibility.

Process/Skill Questions:

• What advantages might a printed model or part have over a part produced using traditional methods?
• What materials are used with an additive process?
• What advantages might a part made with subtractive processes have over a part made with additive processes?
• What methods are used in the testing and evaluating of finished parts?
• How does rapid prototyping relate to additive and subtractive manufacturing?
• What are the differences in safety procedures used between additive and subtractive processes?
