Question

Match the additive manufacturing technique in Column I with its corresponding input material in Column II. Additive manufacturing technique (Column I) Input material (Column II) P Fused deposition modelling 1 Photo sensitive liquid resin Q Laminated object manufacturing 2 Heat fusible powder R Selective laser sintering 3 Filament of polymer 4 Sheet of thermoplastic or green compacted metal sheet

Additive manufacturing technique (Column I)	Input material (Column II)
P Fused deposition modelling	1 Photo sensitive liquid resin
Q Laminated object manufacturing	2 Heat fusible powder
R Selective laser sintering	3 Filament of polymer
	4 Sheet of thermoplastic or green compacted metal sheet

Correct answer (A) P-3, Q-4, R-2 Solution Matching the techniques to their standard input materials: P. Fused deposition modelling (FDM): Uses a continuous filament of polymer (Matches 3). Q. Laminated object manufacturing (LOM): Uses layers of sheet material (thermoplastic or green compacted metal) (Matches 4). R. Selective laser sintering (SLS): Uses a laser to sinter heat fusible powder (Matches 2). Matching: P-3, Q-4, R-2. Turn this into a strength.
