  "term": "Solid freeform fabrication",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "A broad category of additive manufacturing processes that create three-dimensional objects by successively adding material layer by layer, directly from a digital model. This method builds complex geometries without the need for molds or tooling, distinguishing it from subtractive manufacturing techniques. Examples include fused deposition modeling, stereolithography, and selective laser sintering.",
