    Most of the 3d printers in the Output Shop use FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) which prints plastic. The two alternating types of plastic are ABS and PLA, why do these machines print two different types of plastic (select all that apply):

    • ABS costs more than PLA, but has a lower melting temperature

    • ABS plastic is the final model material, and PLA is the soluble support on which it prints

    • ABS is more fragile than PLA and care must be taken when working with it

    • ABS and PLA cost the same amount, $5 per cubic inch

    Correct Answer
    A. ABS plastic is the final model material, and PLA is the soluble support on which it prints
    Explanation
    The reason why these machines print two different types of plastic is because ABS plastic is used as the final model material, while PLA is used as the soluble support on which it prints. This means that ABS is the main material that forms the actual object, while PLA is a temporary support material that can be dissolved or removed after the printing process is complete.
