  "term": "Extrusion",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "The process of forcing a material through a die or nozzle to create a continuous profile or layer. In fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing, extrusion involves heating a thermoplastic filament and pushing it through a small nozzle to deposit molten material layer by layer. This forms the basis for building three-dimensional objects from digital models.",
