What is the primary advantage of using additive manufacturing (3D printing) over traditional subtractive manufacturing methods?

• Higher material waste

• Longer production times

• Ability to create complex geometries with less waste

• Lower strength of materials

Which of the following best describes the concept of a circular economy in the context of sustainability?

• A focus on linear production and disposal processes

• Designing products for a single use before disposal

• Reusing, recycling, and refurbishing products to extend their lifecycle

• Using only non-renewable resources

The study of ergonomics in product design aims to:

• Increase the production cost

• Minimize the physical effort and discomfort for users

• Make products more complex to use

• Focus solely on the product's appearance
