subtractively
Through removal operations
In a subtractive manner—by removal rather than addition.
The term appears most often in technical contexts: colors mixed subtractively (as with pigments) darken rather than brighten, and subtractively manufactured parts are carved from solid material rather than built up layer by layer.
