  "term": "Triangulation",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "The process of representing a 3D surface as a mesh of interconnected triangles, forming the basis of many digital models used in additive manufacturing. This method approximates complex geometries with a series of flat facets, which are then used by slicing software to generate print instructions. The resolution of the mesh determines the accuracy of the printed part's surface.",
