What an assessment for ICPPTD301 must cover

32 assessable components: 3 elements (11 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 8 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 6 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Assess design file

  • 1.1Receive file and identify and document precision, quality, and materials requirements for 3D file in accordance with client specifications
  • 1.2Review and document faults, imperfections and errors of file and assess against client specifications
  • 1.3Provide recommendations to client, and agree on alterations to be undertaken

2 Determine work requirements

  • 2.1Select software required to perform adjustments according to file requirements
  • 2.2Calculate and document time and cost of work required to rectify identified faults, imperfections and errors
  • 2.3Evaluate and document potential waste, build and support materials
  • 2.4Inform client of work requirements and obtain approval for planned work

3 Prepare a precision 3D print file

  • 3.1Manipulate file to remove imperfections and errors
  • 3.2Prepare output file according to printer specifications
  • 3.3Review file quality with client and obtain sign off
  • 3.4Save file in a format appropriate for 3D printing according to organisational policies and procedures

Performance evidence

  • The candidate must demonstrate the ability to manipulate 3D files in accordance with workplace procedures to meet required outcomes a minimum of 2 times. This includes demonstrating the ability to:
  • communicate with client to identify needs
  • confirm client requirements for three-dimensional (3D) print output
  • determine work requirements and obtain client approvals
  • recognise faults, imperfections and errors in 3D printer files
  • use software to rectify errors in 3D printer files
  • save files in required format.

Knowledge evidence

  • common manifold errors in 3D printer graphics, including the effect on: proposed printed material, printing technology, wall thickness, file resolution limits, conversion between software, support structure
  • possible errors, including: reversed surfaces, components without volume, internal edge and face errors
  • the relationship between 3D modelling software and 3D image software, including: file types, function of the software, main image editing tools, scale and units
  • “Cartesian coordinate system” and how it relates to 3D graphics file manipulation
  • the purpose of “slicing” in the preparation of G-Code for 3D object build
  • the effect of setting resolution and deposition thickness in 3D graphics on 3D print output quality
  • work health and safety (WHS) requirements and workplace procedures relevant to 3D printing technologies
  • intellectual property and copyright laws and requirements in relation to 3D printing.

Foundation skills

  • Reading: Analyses graphic files and specifications to determine requirements
  • Writing: Names data files using appropriate naming conventions
  • Oral communication: Presents complex information using clear and persuasive language, and appropriate tone and pace for the audience and purpose
  • Numeracy: Performs mathematical calculations appropriate to graphics software to ensure accuracy, scale and tolerances are being met Estimates works requirements
  • Interact with others: Understands what to communicate, with whom and how, in routine work situations
  • Get the work done: Accepts responsibility for planning and sequencing complex tasks and workload, negotiating key aspects with client Uses problem solving techniques to evaluate errors and manipulate graphics images Uses digital technologies and applications to manage and manipulate data

Questions about assessing ICPPTD301

What does an assessment tool for ICPPTD301 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICPPTD301 needs to address all 32 unit components: 3 elements with 11 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 8 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for ICPPTD301?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICPPTD301 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for ICPPTD301 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICPPTD301 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of ICPPTD301, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
