Calibration of shrinkage and beam offset in SLS process
Abstract
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is one of the most successful rapid tooling processes. Shrinkage and beam offset are the two most important control parameters in this process. First, the SLS process and procedure of calibration are described. Second, based on the property of shrinkage and beam offset, a basic formula of shrinkage and beam offset is derived. Finally, the procedure of applying shrinkage (scaling factor) and beam offset is described.
