Tolerances for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an advanced 3D printing technology that uses a laser to sinter powdered material into solid structures, layer by layer. The tolerances achieved in SLS depend on the material used and part complexity.

Specification
Precision Tolerances	Achievable tolerances of ±0.2 mm for most parts, with finer precision possible for smaller geometries.
Layer Resolution	As fine as 0.1 mm, depending on the material and printer setup.
Minimum Wall Thickness	1 mm (depending on material type and part design).
Minimum Feature Size	0.5 mm (varies by material).
Maximum Part Size	Can vary, typically up to 600 x 600 x 500 mm, depending on the machine capabilities.
Minimum Part Size	Can be as small as 5 mm x 5 mm, depending on the printer and material.
Production Volume	Low Volume: 1-100 pcs, High Volume: 100-2,000 pcs, Large Volume: 2,000+ pcs (depending on design).
Lead Time	Typically 5-7 business days for most orders, with fast turnaround for simpler designs.

Surface Finishes for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

SLS is known for producing strong, detailed parts that require minimal post-processing. Below are common surface finishes for parts produced with SLS.

Sanding

Sanding removes excess powder and smooths the surface, improving both appearance and feel, ideal for parts that require post-processing before painting.

Polishing

Polishing gives SLS parts a smooth, glossy finish, often used for high-visibility parts to enhance their visual appeal and provide a professional look.

Bead blasting

Bead blasting uses small abrasive beads to create a matte, textured surface. It’s effective for improving surface consistency.

Plating

Plating involves applying a metal layer to SLS parts, improving their strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, adding a shiny metallic finish.

Dyeing

Dyeing adds rich, uniform color to SLS parts, allowing vibrant customization while maintaining the material’s natural texture and surface detail.

Vapor smoothing

Vapor smoothing melts the outer layer slightly to reduce roughness, creating a glossy, sealed surface ideal for functional or aesthetic applications.
