  "term": "Bounding box",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "A rectangular prism that completely encloses a 3D model, representing its maximum dimensions along the X, Y, and Z axes. This virtual box provides a simple way to determine the overall size and spatial extent of an object within the build volume of a 3D printer. Software uses bounding boxes for initial placement, scaling, and collision detection of parts.",
