3D printers can produce complex parts made from a variety of polymers and metals depending on the type of printers. Which of the following statements accurately describe the current scenario.

Question

Answer

Fabricating with 3D-printig is good for prototyping and low volume production.

Answer

Base on current trends, it is foreseeable that 3D printing will displace nearly all other current manufacturing processes.

Answer

While 3D printing machinery cost may be similar to other capable automated manufacturing machinery, the material cost associated with 3D printing is usually much higher.

Answer

Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) produce metals parts will somewhat lower mechanical properties because of the inherent porosity in the part due to sintering.

Answer

Metal powder is easy to produce and handle and is a more cost effective than solid metal produced using conventional methods.
