• there is no detrimental effect or impact on the finish, which you find with fused filament fabrication or vat polymerization processes.
• it is good for aesthetic pieces and prototypes.
• the cost is relatively low.
• it has 30% volume and 70% mass.
• dye can be added to it, and it can be made water - resistant or water proof.
• detail is quite high, it is very close to vat polymerization.
• it has excellent layer adhesion, and is very dimensionally accurate.
• there is good tension strength in the layer axis.

what is the cost like for the sls process?

• it varies from high to low.
• it is extremely high.
• it is free.
• it is relatively low.
