  "id": "MLC-T-ADM-000268",
  "term": "Part consolidation",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "The design strategy in additive manufacturing where multiple individual components of an assembly are redesigned and combined into a single, more complex part. This approach reduces the number of separate pieces, eliminates assembly steps, and can lead to weight reduction and improved performance. It often results in geometries unachievable with traditional manufacturing.",
