Additive manufacturing builds parts by adding material layer by layer, while subtractive removes material to create parts. Although these approaches have different benefits and can serve different purposes, they are often used in conjunction with one another due to their overlapping range of applications. In subtractive manufacturing, the most popular being CNC machining, you'll typically start with solid blocks of materials that are shaped through cutting, boring, drilling, and grinding. These processes rely on a [...]
