Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
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
