← HistoryWhich outcome accompanied the Song Dynasty's mass production of crossbow triggers employing the lost-wax casting?
A)Reduced trigger component mechanical strength
B)Greater trigger dimensional precision achieved✓
C)Increased trigger manufacturing infrastructural cost
D)Lower trigger assembly automation potential
💡 Explanation
Greater dimensional precision resulted, because the lost-wax process allowed consistent molds to be made, therefore interchangeability and reliability improved, rather than strength which depends on material properties or less complex direct mold costs.
