Mara Cohen · Answer 1

(D) Unlike traditional techniques, 3-D printing results in some wasted material.

Explanation:

3-D printing:

1. It is also known as additive manufacturing.

2. It can use for complex shape printing.

3. It is generally use in fashion areas.

4. In this printing method wasted material is very low as compare to traditional printing.

5. It is use CAD system for printing.

So the option D is correct.

(D) Unlike traditional techniques, 3-D printing results in some wasted material.

Mckayla Ramos · Answer 2

The Correct Answer is D

Explanation:

3D printing or additive production is a method of producing three-dimensional compact things from digital data. The production of a 3D printed article is produced by applying additive processes. 3D printing permits you to manufacture complicated frames using more limited material than conventional production systems.
