  "term": "Hobby 3D printer",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "A low-cost, desktop-sized machine designed for personal, non-commercial use by enthusiasts, educators, and small-scale prototypers. These printers are characterized by their accessibility, smaller build volumes, and use of consumer-grade materials, most often thermoplastic filaments like PLA or ABS. While their precision and reliability are lower than industrial systems, a typical hobby printer has a build volume under 300 x 300 x 300 mm.",
