  "term": "CAM",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "Computer-aided manufacturing, a software application used to prepare digital models for fabrication by generating toolpaths and machine instructions. In additive manufacturing, CAM principles are applied in slicing software to convert a 3D model into layers and create the G-code that directs the printer's movements. This process bridges the design phase with the physical production.",
