The promises and perils of 3D printing

The process mainly involves use of a CNC machine which utilizes variety of tools to cut around an object at particular axes saving the designers the burden of flipping the block. Mendhis et al (2018) notes that additive and subtractive manufacturing have brought a revolution in the process of manufacturing products and prototypes in industries. Industries are shifting from manufacturing of products through removal of materials from an object to addition of layers to manufacture complete products. With the advancing technological changes, the need for 3D objects has gained significance both in industrial and real life situations giving additive manufacturing prominence over subtractive manufacturing. 3D manufacturing utilizes direct digital manufacturing which is a common feature industries apply in the manufacture of high-tech products.
