Building corporeal replicas, examples, workings, tools, and functional components from 3D data developed with a computer (CAD), by advanced geometry, utilising Additive Manufacturing - AM, which is difficult or impossible to do with traditional manufacturing processes, is likely. AM methods employ metals, ceramics, and polymers in the form of liquids, powders, wire, foil, and other materials to manufacture prototypes. However, there are several limitations, the most important of which being material selection. As a result, knowing material properties and how machine settings impact them is crucial, especially if the machine is creating functional components. The effect of component location in the build (in the X and Y directions) on the dimensional accuracy and mechanical quality of products produced using this SLS techniquewill be investigated in this research
