a. This process is best suited for the low volume production of tubes, bars and beams due to the
nature of the extrusion process
b. Manufacturing a thermoplastic HDPE hose with an extrusion nozzle heated to 175C is possible with
this process
□c. You can produce a room-temperature non-fragile 225C oven-safe food container with at least one
material from the above table using this process and a 280C nozzle
d. You can print thermoplastic and thermoset polymers with this process, you only need to make sure
that the nozzle specs and the crosslinking conditions match the polymer requirements
e. You can use this process to print plastic or brittle objects but not elastomers and rubbers
