Differing from traditional “subtractive” metal manufacturing processes — which start with a solid block or piece of metal and then subtract raw material to form component parts — “additive” manufacturing creates materials from scratch by adding material through an Industrial 3D printer.
With the transition from analog to digital, designers are using data computer-aided design software and 3D object scanners to render their drawings into “useful” pieces of information. Essentially, the software directs hardware to deposit materials layer-by-layer, until the designer’s vision is realized...
