  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "Additive manufacturing performed using compact, relatively affordable 3D printers designed for personal use, small businesses, or educational settings. These machines typically employ fused deposition modeling (FDM) or stereolithography (SLA) technologies and are characterized by their smaller build volumes and ease of operation. Desktop 3D printers have democratized access to additive manufacturing for prototyping and small-scale production.",
