Optimum sintering region for laser sintered nylon-12

It is well known that the mechanical properties of laser sintered Nylon-12 improve with increased applied energy. However properties can reach a maximum after which, the application of additional energy can a lead to a decline in part properties. It is thought that the reason for this decline is tha...
