Question

layer height
use the information below to answer the question.
the relationship of how much time it will take to create the layer height and its
thickness are linear to each other. if layers need to be made quickly, then there will
be thicker layers. if the process speed is slowed down, then the layers will be
thinner.
for example, if a layer height is set at 15 microns, it will be at one speed; however,
if a layer height is set at 100 microns, then the speed will be twice as fast creating a
difference in the thickness of the layer height.
if thinner layers are needed, what needs to be done to the
speed of the print?
the process needs to go faster
the process needs to stabilize
the process needs to slow down

Explanation:

The problem states that the relationship between the time to create a layer height (which is related to thickness) and speed is linear. Faster speed gives thicker layers (as seen in the example where higher layer height - 100 microns - has a faster speed). So, if thinner layers are needed (opposite of thicker), based on the given relationship, the process speed should be adjusted in the opposite way of when thicker layers (which use faster speed) are made. Since slower process speed gives thinner layers (as per the statement “If the process speed is slowed down, then the layers will be thinner”).

Answer:

the process needs to slow down
