Hi Shriya!

3D Printing are time efficient, effort efficient. There are various advantages of 3D Printing over Conventional Manufacturing Methods.

1) Advantages

  • Flexible Design
  • Rapid Prototyping
  • Prints continuously
  • Strong and Lightweight Parts
  • Fast Design and Production
  • Minimising Waste
  • Cost Effective
  • Ease of Access
  • Environment friendly
  • Advanced Healthcare

2) Disadvantages

  • Limited Materials
  • Restricted Build Size
  • Post Processing
  • Large Volumes
  • Part Structure
  • Reduction in Manufacturing Jobs
  • Design Inaccuracies

Hope this is helpful!

All the best!

Hello

Below are the Advantages:

  • No material wastage.
  • Not constrained in the complex geometrical features like undercuts and internal features, and can be achieved with high accuracy.
  • Bad programming in AM machines results in the bad build of the part but in CNC machine could result in severe damage to the machine and may even be a human safety risk.

Now coming to the Disadvantages:

  • High-speed CNC machining can generally remove material much faster than AM machines can add a similar volume of material.
  • AM parts may have voids or anisotropy because of part orientation, etc., whereas CNC parts will normally be more homogeneous and predictable in quality.

Good Luck
