  Unit 1, Additive Manufacture (3 credits)

  1. use a brief to design 3D objects.	2. enable 3D manufacture from a 3D design.
  1.1 identify the need for a specified design. [6]	2.1 follow instructions to export a file for additive manufacture. [7]
  1.2 identify design constraints. [8]	2.2 use appropriate file formats and dimensions. [9]
  1.3 select appropriate software to develop the design. [10]	2.3 import files into additive manufacture software. [11]
  1.4 gather information to support a design. [12]	2.4 use the appropriate settings to create a build file. [13]
  1.5 create a design, starting from a template, image trace or pre-existing object. [14]	2.5 identify issues related to print speed, quality, size and overall outcome. [15]
  1.6 make checks to ensure the model will print. [16]	2.6 identify changes to machine settings to improve build quality. [17]
  1.7 amend errors and ensure design quality. [18]	2.7 use the final product to identify possible improvements. [19]
  	2.8 identify how an additive manufacture design can be used alongside or to aid existing design and manufacture processes. [20]
