These technologies can be classified into various groups according to their processes. Three major groups are additive manufacturing, subtractive manufacturing and formative manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-subtractive-manufacturing\"><strong>What is Subtractive Manufacturing<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In subtractive manufacturing, objects are created by progressively removing material from a solid block or sheet. The material is removed from the starting material by cutting, drilling, boring, or grinding. While these processes may be carried out manually, they are more commonly achieved using computer numeric control. Today, the most popular subtractive manufacturing process is\u00a0CNC machining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In CNC machining, a computer-numerically controlled cutting tool mechanically removes material to achieve a geometry. It involves the use of CAD to design a model to be machined, as well as the use of CAM to instruct the CNC machine on how exactly to go about material removal. There are three major machining processes that concern removing material according to 3D models, namely: turning, drilling and milling. Other subtractive manufacturing processes are laser cutting, waterjet cutting, electrical discharge machining, and plasma cutting. These methods are mainly used for 2D machining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Advantages of Subtractive Manufacturing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It applies to a wide variety of materials including metals, plastics and plastic composites and even wood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It can be used to obtain almost any geometry such as flat surface, holes, cylinders, screw thread, slots etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It can produce high accuracy with close tolerance of about 0.025 mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smooth surface finish is obtainable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Limitations of Subtractive Manufacturing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There is material wastage as the chips formed are wasted.

Although a majority of the current global activity in additive manufacturing involves polymer-based systems, there has been activities&nbsp; and interest in metallic part fabrication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additive manufacturing is widely known as 3D printing. It is carried out using machines known as 3D printers. The term 3D printing covers a range of processes that differ by feedstock material and energy source. However, there are fundamental steps common in all operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A CAD model of the part to be printed is designed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Specialized slicing software then slices this model into several cross-sectional layers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Depending on the technology used, the 3D printer proceeds to melt, fuse, or cure feedstock material and deposit it layer by layer until the desired geometry forms.&nbsp; The feedstock material may be powder, wire, sheet, or liquid.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Advantages of Additive Manufacturing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It is highly efficient due to the elimination of waste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is comparatively faster to go from the design stage to production<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Produces intricate and complex designs with ease<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Limitations of Additive Manufacturing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It&nbsp;has a limited range of materials when compared to other manufacturing processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is expensive when dealing with metals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is not suitable for high volume production<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"comparison-of-additive-manufacturing-and-subtractive-manufacturing\"><strong>Comparison of Additive Manufacturing and Subtractive Manufacturing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"custom-table-block \" id=\"table-id-249\" >\r\n\t<div class=\"search-input-wrapper\">\r\n\t\t<svg width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n\t\t\t<path d=\"M15.7812 13.833L12.6659 10.7177C12.5252 10.5771 12.3346 10.499 12.1347 10.499H11.6253C12.4877 9.39596 13.0002 8.00859 13.0002 6.49937C13.0002 2.90909 10.0911 0 6.50083 0C2.91056 0 0.00146484 2.90909 0.00146484 6.49937C0.00146484 10.0896 2.91056 12.9987 6.50083 12.9987C8.01006 12.9987 9.39742 12.4863 10.5004 11.6239V12.1332C10.5004 12.3332 10.5786 12.5238 10.7192 12.6644L13.8345 15.7797C14.1282 16.0734 14.6032 16.0734 14.8938 15.7797L15.778 14.8954C16.0718 14.6017 16.0718 14.1267 15.7812 13.833ZM6.50083 10.499C4.29167 10.499 2.50122 8.71165 2.50122 6.49937C2.50122 4.29021 4.28855 2.49976 6.50083 2.49976C8.70999 2.49976 10.5004 4.28708 10.5004 6.49937C10.5004 8.70852 8.71311 10.499 6.50083 10.499Z\" fill=\"#476175\"\/>\r\n\t\t<\/svg>\r\n\t\t<input type=\"search\" class=\"table-search-input\" id=\"table-search-249\" placeholder=\"Table search\">\r\n\t<\/div>\t\r\n\t<div class=\"table-wrapper\">\r\n\t\t<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 384px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\"><strong>Additive Manufacturing\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\"><strong>Subtractive manufacturing<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 96px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 96px;\">Achievable complexity<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 96px;\">Can produce parts with highly complex and intricate geometries, even better than 5-axis CNC machining.<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 96px;\">Better suited to relatively simple geometry.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 72px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 72px;\">Producible features<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 72px;\">Cannot produce features such as holes and threaded features effectively<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 72px;\">Effectively creates holes and threaded sections.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 48px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 48px;\">Properties of parts produced<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 48px;\">Properties of parts produced<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 48px;\">Parts produced may have excellent mechanical and thermal properties.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 96px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 96px;\">Accuracy<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 96px;\">Can achieve less dimensional accuracy.

However, while 3D printing is better suited for prototyping using plastics, additive manufacturing is preferable for metal prototyping. For finished products, subtractive manufacturing is more suitable. This is because parts produced by subtractive manufacturing do not always require finishing and have better mechanical properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For small production quantities such as 1-10 identical parts, 3D printing is more appropriate as it is less expensive for such quantities, given that the material of part is a polymer. Production runs of 10-10000 identical parts are more cost-effective using subtractive manufacturing. For quantities larger than 10000, you should consider formative manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smaller-sized parts are better produced with additive manufacturing. Subtractive manufacturing, on the other hand, is better used for larger parts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Materials such as metals, wood, glass, stone, and foam are either very expensive or impossible to manufacture using additive manufacturing. Such materials require subtractive manufacturing. On the other hand, materials that are difficult to machine, such as flexible TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) and metal superalloys can be 3D printed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additive manufacturing is more cost-effective than subtractive manufacturing for small quantities of plastic. For metals, however, SLM\/DMLS and binder jetting cost 100% and 50% more than CNC machining respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, additive manufacturing is best suited to prototyping and small-scale production of small, highly complex parts made from plastic. Subtractive manufacturing is better for large-scale production of relatively simple, large parts made from a wide range of materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":16925,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[],"c-tag-articles":[],"global-tag":[729,495],"class_list":["post-22318","articles","type-articles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","global-tag-cnc-machining-tr","global-tag-3d-printing-tr"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
