With the industrial revolution and mechanization, CNC (Computer Numerical Control) became the modern answer to traditional modes of subtractive manufacturing. It helps machinists use precision to cut a solid material into desired shapes.
Additive manufacturing technology takes the opposite approach. Popularly known as 3D printing, it builds products from scratch by adding layer upon layer of the raw material to manufacture the required products. It has great advantages, such as waste reduction, creation of complex shapes, elimination of pressure points, etc. However, the technology is still evolving and despite its flexibility isn’t equipped to create smooth surfaces.
