Additive Manufacturing: Building Objects Layer by Layer
Additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, is a process of creating objects by building them layer by layer from digital designs. Unlike traditional subtractive methods, it adds material precisely where needed, reducing waste and enabling complex geometries.
It is widely used in aerospace, automotive, healthcare, consumer products, and prototyping, allowing rapid production of customized and lightweight components. Additive manufacturing supports innovation, faster design iterations, and small-batch production.
Key benefits of additive manufacturing include:
Ability to create complex and customized designs
Reduced material waste compared to traditional methods
Faster prototyping and production cycles
Lightweight and strong components for engineering applications
By transforming how objects are designed and produced, additive manufacturing is revolutionizing manufacturing and product development across industries.
