Question

Which of the following characteristic does NOT describe 3D printing compared to traditional manufacturing techniques?


Sustainable manufacturing approach


Increased costs


It allows companies to make complex objects that are already assembled.


3D printers require no molds, which makes it just as easy to make 100 identical objects or 100 different objects.

Answer 1

Answer:

3D printing is incredibly resource efficient since the only material consumed is what passes under the laser (or through the extruder, etc.), whereas traditional manufacturing requires the use of extra materials (molds for injection molding, scraps for perforated sheet metal assembly, etc.).
