Generation

# Additive vs. Subtractive Manufacturing **Additive manufacturing** builds objects layer-by-layer from raw materials (like 3D printing), while **subtractive manufacturing** removes material from a solid block to create the desired shape (like milling or cutting). This distinction matters because additive methods minimize material waste and enable complex geometries impossible with traditional techniques, while subtractive methods typically offer superior surface finish and tighter tolerances. The choice fundamentally affects production cost, design flexibility, material efficiency, and environmental impact.
