Influence of SlS Parameters on Strength and Fatigue Durability of Polyamide-12
Abstract: Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), a laser-based polymer powder bed fusion process, has gained prominence in the fabrication of high-performance thermoplastics such as Polyamide-12 (PA12). This paper provides an extensive review of how key SLS process parameters—such as laser power, scan speed, hatch spacing, and energy density—affect the mechanical properties of PA12 components, with a specific focus on tensile strength and fatigue resistance. Studies demonstrate that increasing energy input enhances particle …
