Indicate 4 possible methods of solving the problem, and then choose one of the methods and defend your

choice.

What will be an ideal response?


Possible answers include thickening the bridge in key areas, finding a material with higher melt index or higher density, or even using mold-in supports. Answer should also include a valid discussion of the chosen solution.
