Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The original CAD programs were not built to consider unique features of AM, which has led to the development of AM-specific design software. This does not mean that the need for skilled CAD designers has decreased, but rather that there is now a need for specialized AM designers in addition to traditional CAD designers. CAD programs are being updated to include features that are optimized for AM, but they are not yet fully integrated with AM.
