These refer to the conventional cutting and milling techniques performed on CNC Machine or if you are a Luddite probably a lathe machine. On the other hand we have quite a new form of technology for the manufacture of products which is economical and efficient called 3D Printing/ Additive Manufacturing.

In three words I think 3D PRINTING IS MAGIC .
