Additive Manufacturing
Mastering Production with Markforged
Recent advancements in additive manufacturing are transforming industrial production. This method, building objects layer by layer, offers a departure from traditional subtractive methods and provides unparalleled precision and design flexibility. Additive manufacturing reduces material waste and efficiently creates complex structures.
While often used interchangeably, additive manufacturing and 3D printing have distinct roles. Additive manufacturing is a broad category of building 3D objects by adding material, whereas 3D printing specifically refers to the precise layering technique within this category. This distinction not only expands manufacturing capabilities, enabling intricate geometries, but also opens up new possibilities in customisation and rapid prototyping.
