3D printing technology is developed along with precision rapid prototyping. Rapid Prototyping is the process of creating an early prototype or sample of a product to be developed. Rapid Prototyping helps the product development and ensures the best output of the end product.Rapid prototyping is one of the most widespread applications of 3D printing
Rapid Prototyping helps to improve the structural rationality and material selection of the products, which promotes the development of technology and expands the application fields of 3D printing. Here is listing more applications of 3D printing:
Architecture
3D printing technology is also widely used in the architectural design stage, using 3D printers to print out virtual 3D design architectural models, which has the characteristics of fast, environmentally friendly, low cost, and exquisite shape. 3D printing technology is also used in the construction field for full-scale building construction. It can print the entire building on site, or produce modular components in small batches for assembly.
Automotive
3D printing helps the research and development of automotive. Using 3D printing technology, concept models can be produced in hours or days. 3D printing can accurately transform the 3D design drawings of automotive parts into real prototypes, improving the efficiency of the R&D and testing the automotive.
Electronics
3D printing is widely used in the R&D of electronic products, such as mobile phones, computers, earphones, household appliances, etc. It is mainly used in the key steps of product appearance design and structural design. The electronics industry upgrades quickly, giving short time for R&D and production, and the advantage of 3D printing lies in small batch production and short-term production of new products with high level of complexity, which helps to shorten the time frame of development of new products and reduce production costs , which is of great significance to the electronic product industry.

Both additive manufacturing and subtractive manufacturing can run through CAD (Computer Aided Design) software, and both ways of manufacturing can be highly precise and used for complex designs in a variety of industries and applications.
Additive manufacturing
The world of additive manufacturing is ruled by 3D printing which, as the name suggests, operates by printing layers of material rather than detracting from pre-existing objects, a feature known as fused deposition modeling. Repeated depositions in the same area by the machine build the final model from the bottom up. So it's called a 3D printer and actually prints each layer in 2D cross-sectional layers, which are basically stacked on top of each other until the desired design is produced. It connects materials layer-by-layer from 3D model data, usually by nozzle deposition of material, UV curing or thermal energy. Manufacturing offers four 3D printing technologies: Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Stereolithography(SLA), Selective Laser Sintering(SLS) 3D printing for creating metal and plastic single prototype parts or low volume production parts.
Subtractive manufacturing
Subtractive manufacturing starts with a piece of material, which is then cut the unnecessary material to create the desired part. CNC machines dominate the field of subtractive manufacturing and come in many forms to meet various needs. Like 3D manufacturing, CNC machining can be used on plastics and metals, but processing from their solid original form. CNC machines work in a variety of ways, they can introduce manipulating and rotating tools into stationary material held in place, or the object itself can be rotated by the machine, depending on the project. CNC machines can machine a variety of materials, from metal and plastic to wood, and come in all shapes and sizes.
