  "term": "Thermoplastic",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "A type of polymer that becomes pliable or moldable when heated and solidifies upon cooling, a process that can be repeated without chemical degradation. This characteristic makes them ideal for extrusion-based additive manufacturing processes like Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). Common examples include PLA, ABS, and PETG.",
