3D Printing - Fundamentals

What is the main advantage of additive manufacturing compared to traditional manufacturing?

AIt uses molds to shape materials quickly

BIt builds objects layer by layer, reducing material waste

CIt melts metal to cast parts

DIt cuts materials from a solid block

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand additive manufacturing process
Additive manufacturing creates objects by adding material layer by layer, unlike cutting or molding.
Step 2: Compare with traditional methods
Traditional methods often remove material or use molds, causing more waste.
Final Answer:
It builds objects layer by layer, reducing material waste -> Option B
Quick Check:
Main advantage = builds layer by layer [OK]

Quick Trick: Additive means adding layers, not cutting away [OK]
