curl an SLS part defect; part warping due to
uneven heating or cooling. There are two
types of curl: “in-
build curl” and “post- build
curl.” In- build curl happens when the hot
laser beam hits a cold (or insufficiently
preheated) part bed . Post- build curl happens
when different regions of a part cool down at
different rates. Controlled cooldown helps
prevent post-build curl.
