Abstract Dimensional accuracy estimation of additively manufactured parts obtained via Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is examined. As benchmark models, tensile specimens according to ISO 527-2 standard and bending specimens according to ISO 178 are selected. For all additively manufactured specimens, dimensions are measured and compared with the original CAD models. Tensile specimens are 170×20×4 mm in bulk, and the specimens intended for 3-point bend tests are 96×8×4 mm in bulk. Both specimen configurations are additively manufactured in two different printing orientations, i.e. horizontal and vertical. All specimens are produced on the Fuse 1 device (FormLabs, Summerville, MA), using Polyamide 12 (PA 12) material. After fabrication and post-processing, all specimens are scanned on Atos Core 200 3D scanner and afterward compared with the original CAD models via the GOM Inspect programme (GOM Metrology GmbH, Braunschweig, Germany).
