Additive manufacturing refers to:
A) printing a design by laying down thin horizontal cross sections of material.
B) manually printing a new design that converges with an old design by adding details.
C) constructing a model by injection molding.
D) constructing a model by machining a mold.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, involves creating a 3D model by laying down thin horizontal layers of material until the final form is achieved. This process is additive because material is added layer by layer, rather than removing material from a larger block (as is done in machining) or injecting material into a mold (as is done in injection molding).
