The correct option is (b) False

Best explanation: The above statement is false. The IBM produces smoother finished parts which are scrap free, when compared to EBM. In addition to that, the dimensions of the bottle (including the neck finish) show very little variation from bottle to bottle, and with some materials, improved strength and clarity are obtained due to the effect of a limited degree of biaxial orientation.
