sls: benefits and limitations
use the information below to answer the question.
benefits for sls

• since this is a robust process, and it’s good for complex forms, it can be used to create functional parts.
• no support structure is needed, which leads to more creative freedom.
• there is no dimensional 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 tensile strength in the layer axis.

one benefit of the sls process is that it is good for creating which of the following?
prototypes
labels
support structures
automotive parts

Explanation:

From the "Benefits for SLS" list, it says "It is good for aesthetic pieces and prototypes". So we check the options: prototypes is an option, and the other options (labels, support structures, automotive parts) don't have direct support from the given benefits. The benefit about "good for complex forms, create functional parts" and "good for aesthetic pieces and prototypes" points to prototypes as a valid creation from SLS.

Answer:

prototypes
