Modification History

Release	Comments
Release 1	This version first released with ICP Printing and Graphic Arts Training Package Version 2.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

communicate with client to ascertain needs

confirm client requirements for three-dimensional (3D) print output

determine work requirements and obtain client approvals

recognise faults, imperfections and manifold errors in 3D printer files

use software to rectify errors in 3D printer files

save files in required format.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

describe the common manifold errors in 3D printer graphics, including the effect on:

proposed printed material

printing technology

wall thickness

file resolution limits

conversion between software

support structure

explain the relationship between 3D graphics modelling software and 3D graphics image software, including:

file types

function of the software

main image editing tools

scale and units

describe "Cartesian coordinate system" and how it relates to 3D graphics file manipulation

describe the purpose of "slicing" in the preparation of G-Code for 3D object build

describe the effect of setting resolution and deposition thickness in 3D graphics on 3D print output quality.

Assessment Conditions

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the pre-media field of work and include access to:

a range of graphics model files and graphics image files with errors

a computer with industry-standard 3D graphics software packages

a 3D printer or 3D printer specifications.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
