What is Additive Fabrication & 3D Printing? (Also known as Rapid Prototyping) 什么是添加式制作和3D打印?
Additive Fabrication添加式制作
Refers to technology used for building physical models, prototypes, ponents, and finished series production parts – all from puter-aided-design(CAD) data. CT or MRI scans, or data from 3D digitizing systems. C machines, which are subtractive in nature, additive fabrication joins together liquid, powder or sheet materials to form parts that may be impossible to produce by any other method. Based on thin, horizontal cross sections taken from a puter model, they produce plastic, metal. method. Based on thin, horizontal cross sections taken from a puter model, they produce plastic, metal, ceramic, posite parts, layer upon layer.
3D Printing 3D打印
Low-cost variation of additive fabrication that is usually faster, easier to use, less expensive, and office friendly. 3D printers are often used to produce concept models for the visual inspection of a proposed design.
