Additive manufacturing builds objects layer by layer using materials like plastic or metal, while subtractive manufacturing removes material from a solid block to create the final product. Additive is more flexible and can create complex shapes, while subtractive is better for high-precision and large-scale production.

Light can be both additive and subtractive, depending on the context. In additive color mixing, different colors of light are combined to create new colors, while in subtractive color mixing, colors are created by removing certain wavelengths of light.
In the additive color system, the primary colors are red, green, and blue. In the subtractive color system, the primary colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow.
Additive colors are created by combining different colors of light, such as in a computer screen or television. Subtractive colors are created by mixing pigments or dyes, like in painting or printing. Additive colors combine to create white light, while subtractive colors combine to create black or dark colors.
The main difference between subtractive and additive color models is how they combine colors. In subtractive color mixing, colors are created by subtracting wavelengths of light, such as in printing or painting. In additive color mixing, colors are created by adding wavelengths of light, as seen in electronic displays like TVs and computer monitors.
Subtractive color is when colors are created by mixing pigments together, such as in painting or printing. Additive color is when colors are created by combining different light sources, such as in digital displays.
