  "term": "Flowable metal paste",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "A composite material, also known as FMP, consisting of fine metal powders suspended within a polymer binder, creating a substance with a paste-like consistency. This material is extruded at room temperature using a direct ink writing or paste extrusion system to form a green part. The part then undergoes a two-stage post-processing treatment involving a debinding step to remove the polymer and a sintering step in a furnace to fuse the metal particles into a solid, dense metal object.",
