In 3-4 sentences, explain additive versus subtractive manufacturing. State any key formula.
91 chars

Generation

**Additive manufacturing** builds objects layer-by-layer by adding material only where needed (e.g., 3D printing), minimizing waste and enabling complex geometries. **Subtractive manufacturing** removes material from a solid block through cutting, drilling, or milling (e.g., CNC machining) to achieve the final shape. **Key formula - Material Utilization Ratio (MUR):** MUR = (Final part mass / Initial material mass) × 100% Subtractive processes typically have lower MUR (often 5-40%) due to material waste, while additive processes achieve much higher MUR (often 70-95%).
