  "id": "MLC-T-ADM-000087",
  "term": "Crystalline",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "Describing a material structure where atoms or molecules are arranged in a highly ordered, repeating pattern, forming a crystal lattice. These regions exhibit distinct melting points and often possess higher stiffness and strength compared to amorphous regions. Many polymers used in additive manufacturing can exhibit varying degrees of crystallinity, influencing their mechanical and thermal behavior.",
