Machining is rarely used in the modern manufacturing of most products
False
Powder-based processes are typically considered to be the most wasteful of the additive manufacturing methods.
False
The majority of the power put into machining processes is converted into shear and sound.

False
The ________ is defined as the amount of material removed per revolution or per pass of the tool over the workpiece.
Feed Rate
The poor surface finish in products produced using Selective Laser Sintering or Electron Beam Sintering is caused by:

The _____________ is the volume of material removed over time in a machining process.
Material Removal Rate
Electron Beam Machining, Ion Beam Machining, Laser Machining, and Plasma Arc Cutting are all thermal machining processes that rely on a focused beam of energy to locally melt or vaporize material on a workpiece.
True
One of the advantages of chemical machining is that it can be used to machine very large surfaces simultaneously.
True
The first additive process was invented in the 1980's and was limited to creating parts from a brittle photocurable polymer.
True
The main difference between Electrochemical Machining and Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is that in Electrochemical Machining, electricity is used to produce a chemical (etching) reaction, but in EDM electricity is used to produce a thermal (vaporization/melting) reaction.
True
