This is preferable in the toy industry as it saves money on parts, speeds up production times and is more customer and child friendly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/4\/cottage20dolls20house20exploded202.jpg\" width=\"656\" height=\"369\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By the end of the tutorial you should be left with the main frame of the Dolls House.
