QUESTION 5 The extruder head in a fused-deposition modeling setup has a diameter of 1.22mm and produces layers that are o.25mm thick. If the extruder head and polymer extrudate velocities are both 45 mm/s, estimate the production time for the generation of a 38mm solid cube. Assume that there is a 15 second delay between layers as the extruder head is moved over a wire brush for cleaning. (10 marks) ANSWE
