Identify and describe at least three "needs" you have that could be satisfied for you through the use of 3D printing. What is your proposed solution to this need?  In other words, of the three needs, you described previously, which "need" best fits the parameters of your 3D printing problem? Describe the solution and why you chose it for this specific 3D printing project.
Q1: One of our current clients is the SFD – Social Fund for Development – which is a government organization specialized in funding small-medium business projects, where applicants from all over Egypt apply for projects’ funding in one of the SFD’s 32 offices and it is the SFD role to study the applications and decide whether – or not – to fund the project. This will be my first example. Our first role with the SFD is to help them improve and speedup the application cycle from start to end. In this post, I would like to share some shareable information as I think it will help those who would like to see models and diagrams in action. To improve the application cycle, it is important to understand the current system first as this will allow us to avoid the shortcomings and defects. In order to achieve this, behavior, Draw UML diagram which is suitable in your opinion.
How important do you think it is for FIMC and other companies offering roadside assistance services to provide customers with access to services via a mobile app? Do you think a mobile app will provide FIMC with a competitive advantage, or is mobile access something that most customers have come to expect? A recent survey by IBM of 585 mobile application developers and managers found that only one-third of mobile development projects successfully met project criteria in terms of budget, schedule, and project objectives. Given that, what are some of the potential risks for companies, such as FIMC, that develop and deploy a mobile app on such a tight schedule?  When developing the FIMC app, PointSource used an IBM tool called rational test workbench, which allowed developers to find and fix many software bugs before the app was released. Do research on the web to find out more about this took and how it might help developers cut down on the number of software bugs.
