  "term": "Orientation",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "The spatial positioning of a 3D model within the build volume of an additive manufacturing machine relative to the build platform. This choice significantly impacts factors such as print time, surface quality, the amount of support material required, and the mechanical properties of the final part. Optimal orientation minimizes overhangs and stress concentrations.",
