Definition
立体 (lì tǐ) means 'three-dimensional' or 'solid' in the sense of having volume, not hardness. For the '3D' meaning, it's more general than 三维 (sān wéi), which is often used in technical or compound terms (e.g., 三维动画). As a noun, 立体 refers to a geometric solid, distinct from 固体 (gù tǐ), which means 'solid state of matter' (e.g., ice).
