PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Assess image quality |
1.1 Graphics file is received and requirements for precision, quality and materials are determined from specifications and confirmed with client 1.2 Graphics file is assessed to select software required to perform adjustments 1.3 File is opened and faults, imperfections and manifold errors are identified against client specifications 1.4 Time and cost of work required to rectify identified faults, imperfections and errors are calculated 1.5 Client is informed of work requirements and approval obtained for planned work |
2. Prepare a precision 3D print file |
2.1 File is manipulated to remove imperfections and manifold errors 2.2 Output file is prepared according to specifications 2.3 Graphics file quality is reviewed with client and sign off is obtained 2.4 File is saved in a format appropriate for 3D printing |
