Description of Subtractive Manufacturing Methods

Description is a clear, concise, and in-depth explanation of subtractive manufacturing. Discussions include a well- articulated analysis of historical/ contemporary uses of the technology, the industries in which this applies, the merits and limitations of the technology, commonly used materials, the CAD/CAM processes, alongside emerging trends. This information is explained through the use of both high-quality literature sources and/or references.

Similarity comparison of additive and subtractive manufacturing

A thoughtful and insightful comparison of the similarities of both additive and subtractive manufacturing. Discussions include a comprehensive examination of elements relating to digital tools and systems, such as CAD, FEA, etc and how these are used in a typical workflow, machine code programming considerations and the final parts that can be achieved. Comparison drawn based on high quality references and examples.
