* '''CAD''': Computer Aided Design.
* '''CNC''': Computing Numerical Control.
* '''Extrude:''' In 3D printing, forcing a thermoplastic liquid to an opening onto a workspace. In general, force out a material, sometimes shaping something by forcing the material through a die.
* '''G-code:''' The code that runs Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines.
* '''Parametric:''' A model whose dimensions depend on adjustable parameters.
* '''Bed:''' The workspace plate in a 3D printer or similar where objects are built.
* '''ABS:''' Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, a thermoplastic used in 3D printing.
* '''RP:''' Rapid prototyping. Creating a prototype of an object in a few hours using a 3D printer.
* '''Stepper:''' A motor that can only move by discrete amounts.
* '''STL:''' (STereo Lithography). A file format that describes 3D objects by their triangulated surface. Often used as a file format for 3D printers.
* '''Vitamin:''' A component of a 3D printer cannot yet be 3D-printed.
* '''Thermoplastic:''' A polymer that is solid below a specific threshold temperature, and malleable above.
