What will happen if the laser power in an SLS machine is set too low during printing?
AThe powder will melt completely
BThe build platform will overheat
CPowder particles will not fuse properly
DThe laser will cut through the powder bed
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand laser power role in SLS

    The laser must provide enough energy to fuse powder particles.
  2. Step 2: Analyze low power effect

    If power is too low, particles won't fuse, causing weak or incomplete parts.
  3. Final Answer:

    Powder particles will not fuse properly -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Low laser power = Poor fusion [OK]
Quick Trick: Low laser power means weak fusion in SLS [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming overheating occurs
  • Thinking powder melts fully
  • Confusing cutting with sintering
