  "term": "Pre-processing",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "The initial stage in the additive manufacturing workflow where a 3D model is prepared for printing. This involves tasks such as orienting the part, generating support structures, slicing the model into layers, and defining print settings. The output is typically a machine-readable file, such as G-code, that directs the 3D printer's operations.",
