Surveys were developed using items from Dweck’s Implicit Theories ofIntelligence Scale, which has shown good internal consistency, α = .88 and test-retest reliability,α =.79 (Dweck, Chiu & Hong, 1995). We also used items from Pintrich’s Motivated Strategiesfor Learning Questionnaire, which has also shown good internal consistency, α = .89 (Pintrich,Smith, Garcia, & Mckeachie, 1993). The scales were adjusted to use a 7-point Likert scale (1 =not at all true of me to 7 = very true of me.). The number of items per scale were reduced to notoverburden participants.

Every AM process starts using any professional CAD solid model, with the obligation that the output must be a 3D solid or surface drawing. This project used reverse engineering equipment (laser scanning).2. AM machines accept the STL file format, which every CAD system can output such a file format. This file describes the external closed surfaces of the original CAD model and forms the basis for calculation of the slices.3.
