  "id": "MLC-T-ADM-000373",
  "term": "Support volume",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "The total amount of material used to create temporary support structures for a 3D print. This volume is calculated by the slicing software based on the model's geometry, overhang angles, and user-defined settings. Minimizing support volume can reduce material consumption and post-processing time, directly impacting the overall cost and efficiency of the print.",
