You are the lead technical communicator for Pronto Engineering, a company that makes prototypes for engineering clients. Most of the prototypes are created through 3D printing processes. There are currently 5 plastic 3D printers at your facility, and they cover most of the capabilities your clients require.

The owner of Pronto Engineering has asked you to begin the planning process for drafting a proposal on how this new 3D printing technology could be incorporated into the business.

• Research metal 3D printing technology, including the pros and cons of metal printing versus plastic printing. Resources are provided this week to support your research, or you may perform your own research.
• Research an appropriate media channel, SaaS platform, or other means of communication and hypothesize how to best deliver the proposal to your audience (Pronto Engineering owner).
• Develop a checklist detailing the strategies for delivering the proposal to your audience.
• Defend your reasoning about which media channels and software applications would work best, and why they would be the most effective for the type of report or proposal you are creating. Explain the processes you followed for making your decisions.
