  "term": "ACIS file",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "A file format associated with the ACIS geometric modeling kernel, which represents 3D solid models using boundary representation (B-rep) data. This format stores precise mathematical descriptions of surfaces, edges, and vertices, allowing for accurate manipulation and exchange of complex CAD geometries. ACIS files are often used in additive manufacturing workflows for their ability to maintain high fidelity in part design compared to mesh-based formats.",
