  "term": "Copolymer",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "A polymer derived from two or more different monomer species, as opposed to a homopolymer which is made from a single type of monomer. The different monomers are linked together in the same polymer chain, creating a material with combined properties from its constituent parts. Examples include ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) and EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate), both widely used in 3D printing filaments.",
