This paper presents an approximate method for predicting build times for the selective laser sintering (SLS) process. The paper discusses factors that influence the build time, such as roller travel speed, build height, laser scan speed, scan area and part volume. The proposed prediction method is very simple as it depends only on the settings of the build package, rather than on details of individual scan surfaces. The paper also suggests ways to arrange parts to reduce build times.
