  "id": "MLC-T-ADM-000431",
  "term": "Adhesion",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "The property describing the tendency of dissimilar surfaces or particles to cling to one another, particularly relevant in 3D printing for layer-to-layer bonding and part-to-build platform attachment. Proper adhesion prevents warping, delamination, and print failures during the manufacturing process. Factors influencing adhesion include surface preparation, temperature, and material compatibility, with common build plate adhesives including glues, tapes, and specialized coatings.",
