Question

technology summary table
use the information below to answer the question
below is a section of the technology summary table covering direct metal laser
sintering (dmls) selective laser melting (slm).
using the table on the left, when might a user choose direct
metal laser sintering (dmls)/selective laser melting
(slm) to create their print?
when they want their print to use a polymer material
when their print requires strong and functional parts
when they need a cost - effective process to create their print
when their print requires a large build size to create

Explanation:

• The material group for DMIS/SLM is metal powder, so it won't be chosen when a polymer material is wanted.
• The strength of DMIS/SLM is that it can create the strongest functional parts.
• The weakness includes the highest cost of print, so it's not a cost - effective choice.
• Another weakness is small build sizes, so it's not for large build sizes.

Answer:

when their print requires strong and functional parts
