  "term": "Stair steps",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "The visible layering effect on the curved or angled surfaces of a 3D printed object, resembling a series of small steps. This phenomenon is a direct result of the layer-by-layer additive manufacturing process. Reducing the layer height can minimize the appearance of stair steps, resulting in a smoother surface finish.",
