3D Printing - FundamentalsA company uses 3D printing to make a prototype. Which is the most likely benefit compared to traditional manufacturing?APrototype costs less when making thousandsBPrototype is made faster with no need for toolingCPrototype has better surface finish than injection moldingDPrototype requires less design effortCheck Answer
Step-by-Step SolutionSolution:Step 1: Understand prototyping needsPrototypes need quick production without expensive setup.Step 2: Compare 3D printing and traditional methods3D printing can produce prototypes fast without molds or tooling.Final Answer:Prototype is made faster with no need for tooling -> Option BQuick Check:3D printing prototyping = Fast, no tooling [OK]Quick Trick: 3D printing speeds up prototype creation [OK]Common Mistakes:MISTAKESAssuming 3D printing is cheaper for mass productionBelieving surface finish is always betterThinking design effort is reduced
