To determine

Explain the basic differences between additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping.

Explanation of Solution

Additive manufacturingPrototyping
  1. 1. It is the process of manufacturing which utilizes digital data in form of 3D design
  1. 1. It is a technology of producing physical model
  1. 2. It forms by sequentially adding layers by depositing material layer by layer
  1. 2. With this method, we can identify and correct any errors in design before the part is made
  1. 3. Another name is 3D printing which is now used increasingly.
  1. 3. To produce parts using this type of rapid prototyping, several methods are present.
