Isotropic

  "id": "MLC-T-ADM-000188",
  "term": "Isotropic",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "Describing a material that exhibits uniform physical properties in all directions. In additive manufacturing, achieving isotropic properties in printed parts is a goal, as many processes inherently produce anisotropic parts due to layer-by-layer fabrication. For example, tensile strength might differ significantly when measured along the build direction versus perpendicular to it.",
