What an assessment for ICPPTD302 must cover
42 assessable components: 5 elements (21 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 10 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 7 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 Identify the print requirements
- 1.1Determine object requirements against client specifications and confirm with client
- 1.2Evaluate available printer and materials to determine preferred options to meet client specifications
- 1.3Calculate print construction time and cost and obtain client approval to proceed with preferred options
- 1.4Upload data files into the printer software and check 3D model to ensure it meets specifications
- 1.5Assess quality of data file and discuss possible adjustments with client
- 1.6Adjust file as required and save in required printer format
2 Prepare the 3D printer
- 2.1Select personal protective equipment (PPE) and fit in accordance with work health and safety (WHS) procedures
- 2.2Conduct pre start checks on the 3D printer to ensure correct operation according to manufacturer operating procedures
- 2.3Adjust printer settings for specified tolerances and in accordance with client specifications
- 2.4Load printer with specified construction material in accordance with client specifications
- 2.5Install and prepare printer build platform according to manufacturer operating procedures
3 Operate and monitor the 3D printer
- 3.1Operate printer in accordance with manufacturer operating procedures and WHS procedures
- 3.2Check sensor displays and readings to ensure that they remain within the correct operating parameters specified in the manufacturer operating procedures
- 3.3Monitor printing process to check that object is forming as per client specifications, and adjust as necessary
- 3.4Monitor consumables and recharge as required
- 3.5Report errors and faults in operation to relevant personnel for maintenance or repair
4 Remove and prepare model for client
- 4.1Remove printed 3D object from the printer bed according to manufacturer operating procedures
- 4.2Remove support framework using appropriate tools, chemicals and PPE, and according to manufacturer operating procedures
- 4.3Clean and prepare 3D object in accordance with client specifications
5 Reset printer ready for next job or shutdown
- 5.1Clean printer and worksite in accordance with organisational policies and procedures and manufacturer operating procedures after each print
- 5.2Determine reset or shutdown requirements based on print queue, and reset or shutdown printer according to organisational and manufacturer operating procedures
Performance evidence
- communicate with client to identify needs
- interpret specifications and confirm client requirements for a three-dimensional (3D) printed object
- prepare data files, printer and materials to suit the requirements of print job
- prepare, operate and shut down a 3D printer according to manufacturer and organisational requirements.
Knowledge evidence
- features of common 3D printers including: - files types used - level of precision - basic operation - common applications - hazards associated with use - construction materials - printing technologies
- features of common materials for 3D prints including: - properties - performance - durability - cost - required processing time - post processing required - colour quality
- types of post processing including: - curing - sanding - spray painting - gluing - assembling - inserting threads
- the impact that the file type and graphics quality has on the output of the printed object
- printer parameters including: - scale and build platform size - number of models to output - print speed
- work health and safety (WHS) considerations for consumables used in current 3D printers
- work health and safety (WHS) requirements for working with technologies currently used for 3D printing
- purpose and process for using and safely removing structure supports in 3D printing
- steps in cleaning a 3D object
- intellectual property and copyright laws and requirements in relation to 3D printing.
Foundation skills
- Reading: Analyses graphics files and other documentation to determine 3D printing requirements
- Writing: Names data files according to specified naming conventions
- Oral communication: Participates in verbal exchanges using active listening and questioning to convey and clarify printing information Presents complex information using clear and persuasive language, and appropriate tone and pace for the audience and purpose
- Numeracy: Uses mathematical processes to estimate time Performs mathematical calculations to check and adjust software to reflect appropriate tolerances for printing
- Navigate the world of work: Understands roles and responsibilities for tasks and makes basic decisions on work completion parameters Complies with organisational and manufacturer procedures and in accordance with work health and safety (WHS) procedures
- Interact with others: Understands what to communicate, with whom and how, in routine work situations
- Get the work done: Makes routine decisions and implements standard procedures for routine tasks Accepts responsibility for addressing less predictable problems and initiates standard procedures in response, applying problem solving processes Uses familiar digital technologies and systems to control equipment, access information, enter data and save files

Questions about assessing ICPPTD302
What does an assessment tool for ICPPTD302 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICPPTD302 needs to address all 42 unit components: 5 elements with 21 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 10 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 ICPPTD302?
Auditori pulls the current release of ICPPTD302 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 ICPPTD302 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing ICPPTD302 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 ICPPTD302, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
