3D Printing and CNC Machining: Two Technologies That Can Transform Design and Digital Prototyping

In this class, we discuss why designers, engineers, and manufacturers need to think of 3D printing and computer numerical control (CNC) machining technologies as an and rather than an or proposition. Today more and more designers and engineers understand the value of 3D printing. However, CNC is often a faster, more cost-effective solution for rapid and functional prototyping.
