what is additive manufacturing ?

Hello,

Additive manufacturing uses a layer-by-layer technique that allows for more intricate designs and interior modelling. Traditionally, industries used subtractive manufacturing to construct products, whereby designs were carved out of a solid block of material. Rapid prototyping was one of the first uses of additive manufacturing. It allowed manufacturers to create prototypes much faster, facilitating the evaluation and testing of designs before producing a finished product. In rapid prototyping, 3D models are first created using computer-aided design software. Machines then construct 3D objects based on that model.

Good luck
