  "term": "Multi-step Process",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "An additive manufacturing process in which a part is created in more than one step, typically a first step that forms the basic geometry and later steps that modify the shape, consolidate the material, or change its properties. Binder jetting of metal is a common example, since the printed green part must be debound and sintered before it reaches its final density and strength.",
