A machining center is a CNC machine tool capable of performing multiple types of cutting operations

involving rotating spindles (e.g., milling, drilling); the machine is typically equipped with automatic toolchanging, pallet shuttles to speed workpiece changing, and automatic workpiece positioning:

Which of the following rapid prototyping technologies uses powders as the starting material (two correct
answers)?
Select one or more:
a. selective laser sintering
b. solid ground curing
c. fused-deposition modelling
d. three-dimensional printing
e. ballistic particle manufacturing

Which one of the following rapid prototyping technologies uses solid sheet stock as the starting material
Select one:
a. stereolithography
b. laminated-object manufacturing
c. solid ground curing
d. ballistic particle manufacturing
e. fused-deposition modelling

In this rapid prototyping process the pattern of each layer is produced by scanning a laser over a powder
layer. Layering is accomplished by adding another layer of powder to the layer previous sintered, leveling
the powder layer and scanning the laser over this next layer

What is the rapid prototyping process which involves curing a photosensitive polymer layer by layer to
create a solid model based on CAD geometric data. The feature of this process is that instead of using a
scanning laser beam to accomplish the curing of a given layer, the entire layer is exposed to an ultraviolet
light source through a mask that is positioned above the surface of the liquid polymer

a. solid ground curing
b. selective laser sintering

c. ballistic particle manufacturing

d. three-dimensional printing
e. fused-deposition modelling
