[rp-ml] SLS vs SL for small part / small feature capability / accuracy.

Hi all,

 

Thanks for the past input I got regarding different plastic sintering
systems from 3D and EOS.

 

Sorry to beat a dead horse - but I'm still looking for more opinions.

 

I've heard one claim that the DTM / 3D SLS system was better for
accurately producing small parts or small features.

Possibly due to a smaller spot size?

 

Is this marketing hype?

Does anyone have a different opinion or experience?

 

Perhaps some RP-ML'ers over in Europe might know better.

They've had access to both manufacturers for a while longer than us
Yankees.

 

Thanks in advance.
