  "term": "DfAM",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "An acronym for Design for Additive Manufacturing, a methodology for creating parts specifically for production on 3D printing systems. DfAM principles guide the creation of complex geometries, lightweight structures, and consolidated assemblies that take full advantage of a printer's capabilities while respecting its limitations, such as minimum feature size and support structure requirements. This approach differs from traditional design for manufacturability (DFM), which is tailored to subtractive and formative processes.",
