Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000002

A machine that constructs three-dimensional objects from a digital design by adding material layer by layer. It operates by interpreting a 3D file and precisely depositing or solidifying material according to the model's specifications. These devices vary widely in size, technology, and the types of materials they can process, from plastics to metals.
