Question

CAD (computer-aided design) can greatly speed up the development process by allowing Heather to quickly create and modify designs on a computer rather than manually drawing and adjusting them. This can save a significant amount of time in the product development process. Automation, robotics, mass-production assembly lines, and flexible manufacturing systems may be useful in the production phase, but are less likely to speed up the design and development phase.
