When designing parts for SLS 3D printing, consider the following guidelines:
● Optimize Geometry: Design with the using scenario in mind, utilizing the ability to create complex shapes and internal features.
● Wall Thickness: Ensure walls are thick enough to be self-supporting; typically, a minimum of 0.7mm is recommended.
● Orientation: Position the part to minimize stress on weak points during the build process.
● Escape Holes: Include holes to allow unsintered powder to escape from hollow sections.
● Nesting: Efficiently arrange multiple parts within the build volume to maximize the number of parts per build.
