3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process of making 3D solid objects from a digital file by successively adding material layer by layer. There are two main types of manufacturing: additive and subtractive. Additive manufacturing builds objects by adding layers of material, while subtractive manufacturing cuts material away from a solid block. Common 3D printing methods include selective laser sintering, stereolithography, and fused deposition modeling. Materials used include plastics and metals. Applications of 3D printing include manufacturing tools, medical devices, prototypes, and more. The technology offers advantages like customization, rapid production, and low costs.

3. 1)Overview of 3D printing:
“3D printing” or “Additive-
manufacturing” takes digital input in the
form of computer Aided design(CAD)
model an creates solid, Three
dimensional parts through an additive
,layer by layer process.

5. Types of
manufacturing:
1)Additive manufacturing
2) Subtractive manufacturing

6. Define additive manufacturing ?
“Additive layer manufacturing” (ALM) is
in general the opposite of subtractive
manufacturing, where material is
removed to reach the desired shape
instead additive
manufacturing is the process of joining
material to build object from 3D model
data
layer often layer .

8. Define subtractive
manufacturing ?
Subtractive manufacturing is a process
by which 3D object are constructed by
successively cutting material away from
a solid block of material. Subtractive
manufacturing can be done by manually
cutting the material but is most typically
done with a CNC machine
