Additive manufacturing is a process that builds 3D objects layer by layer, using materials such as plastic, metal, and ceramic.
Rapid prototyping allows for quick and cost-effective production of prototypes, helping companies iterate and refine their designs faster.
3D printers come in various types, including FDM (fused deposition modeling), SLA (stereolithography), and SLS (selective laser sintering).
Digital fabrication combines computer-aided design (CAD) software with fabrication processes to create physical objects.
