  Unit 1, Additive Manufacture (3 credits)

  1. use a brief to design 3D objects.	2. enable 3D manufacture from a 3D design.
  1.1 explain the need for a specified design. [7]	2.1 export a file for additive manufacture. [8]
  1.2 describe design constraints. [9]	2.2 explain the need for appropriate file format and dimensions. [10]
  1.3 select appropriate software to develop the design. [11]	2.3 import files into additive manufacture software. [12]
  1.4 research information to support a design. [13]	2.4 use the appropriate settings to create a build file. [14]
  1.5 create a set of information on which to base a design, starting from a template, image trace or pre-existing object. [15]	2.5 explain possible issues related to print speed, quality, size and overall outcome. [16]
  1.6 create a 3D design through customising existing templates or instructions. [17]	2.6 use the 3D printed final product to identify possible improvements. [18]
  1.7 make checks to ensure the model will print. [19]	2.7 identify how an additive manufacture design can be used alongside or to aid existing design and manufacture processes or systems. [20]
  1.8 amend errors and ensure design quality. [21]	2.8 communicate a written evaluation of the design process to others. [22]
