  "term": "Layer thickness",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "The height of each individual layer of material deposited or cured during the additive manufacturing process. This parameter directly influences the vertical resolution, surface finish, and overall printing time of a 3D printed object. Thinner layers generally result in smoother surfaces and finer details but increase the total build time.",
