  "term": "Single-step Process",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "A manufacturing method where a 3D object is produced in a single, continuous operation without requiring intermediate steps or post-processing for its primary formation. This approach aims to reduce production time and complexity by integrating multiple stages into one. Many direct metal laser sintering processes are considered single-step for part creation.",
