Question

pbf: benefits and limitations
use the information below to answer the question.
direct metal laser sintering is not necessarily the best process to use for everything
that is made of metal. it may be more cost - effective to make your piece in the
traditional method.
benefits
the prints are dense.
it is good to use for projects that require complex geometry.
it is organic.
limitations
the machine has a large size and is very expensive.
it has a small build box. you may need to create the piece in two parts and combine it
in post - processing.
it requires a lot of post - processing at the operator level - grinding off the support
structure, removing the powder, etc.
which of the following is a benefit of powder bed fusion
(pbf)?
the prints do not require post - processing.
the machines are cheap.
it has a large print bed.
the prints are dense.

Explanation:

The text clearly states "The prints are dense" as a benefit of Powder Bed Fusion (PBF). The other options are incorrect: the text mentions that it may require post - processing (contradicting "The prints do not require post - processing"), it says the machine is very expensive (contradicting "The machines are cheap"), and there is no mention of a large print bed as a benefit.

Answer:

The prints are dense.
