What is Additive Manufacturing?
Additive manufacturing is a process wherein three-dimensional objects are created layer by layer from digital models. Unlike traditional subtractive manufacturing methods, which involve cutting away material from a solid block, additive manufacturing builds objects by adding material layer upon layer. This revolutionary approach not only allows for intricate and complex designs but also minimizes waste and enables rapid prototyping.
