Like many design patterns, the abstract factory pattern and the builder pattern appear very similar in terms of their class structure. They are both creational patterns used to construct complex object families. However, the builder pattern has an emphasis on step-by-step construction of each part of the composite structure, whereas the abstract factory is designed to return a constructed object immediately.
