CADD designs can be quickly transformed into three-dimensional prototypes using different technologies. Which of the following is not one of these types of technology?
A) rapid manufacturing
B) desktop manufacturing
C) solid freeform fabrication
D) conceptual modeling
E) none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the options listed (rapid manufacturing, desktop manufacturing, solid freeform fabrication, and conceptual modeling) are technologies or methodologies that can be used to transform CADD designs into three-dimensional prototypes. Rapid manufacturing and solid freeform fabrication are direct terms for creating physical models from digital designs. Desktop manufacturing refers to a smaller scale or personal scale of manufacturing, often involving 3D printing technologies that can sit on a desk. Conceptual modeling, while sometimes more associated with the early stages of design, can also involve the creation of prototypes (physical or digital) to help visualize and test concepts. Therefore, none of the options listed is incorrect in the context of technologies for transforming CADD designs into prototypes.
