Additive Manufacturing, often referred to as 3D printing, is a process that creates objects by adding material layer by layer. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods that typically involve cutting away material from a solid block, additive manufacturing builds items from the ground up. This technique allows for complex designs and shapes that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with conventional methods. The technology uses various materials, including plastics, metals, and ceramics, depending on the application. Additive Manufacturing is widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and healthcare, enabling rapid prototyping and customized production. Its ability to reduce waste and streamline production processes makes it an increasingly popular choice in modern manufacturing.
