Unlike traditional subtractive methods (e.g., milling, drilling), where material is removed, 3D printing builds material additively \u2014 hence the term Additive Manufacturing (AM).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"1039\">The basis is always a digital 3D model, usually in STL, OBJ, or STEP format. Software slices the model into thin horizontal layers (\u201cslicing\u201d), which the printer then builds up one by one.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1041\" data-end=\"1044\" \/>\n<p data-start=\"1046\" data-end=\"1100\"><strong data-start=\"1046\" data-end=\"1100\">Overview of the Most Important 3D Printing Methods<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1102\" data-end=\"1265\">There are various 3D printing methods, which differ especially in the type of material, energy source, and level of detail.
