• Don’t know

How does CAD help in reducing design flaws before production?

• By helping predict real-world performance through simulations

• By improving the relationship between design teams

• By calculating the cost of materials more accurately

• By ensuring legal compliance during production

• Don’t know

A cause-effect diagram can be used to do which of the following?

• Analyze a project’s financial outcomes

• Identify and categorize causes of problems in design

• Improve teamwork among engineers

• Track project timelines

• Don’t know

In CAD, what is a key benefit of using 3D modeling over 2D modeling?

• It requires less time and effort to create.

• It allows for more accurate cost estimations.

• It provides better visualization and allows for simulations.

• It eliminates the need for physical prototypes.
