# Parameter Plausibility Envelope

Literature envelope (100 most-cited polymer L-PBF studies): laser 2–50 W
(avg ~16 W), scan speed from 45 mm/s up, layer thickness 100–200 µm.
[Materials 14:1169]

Closest published analog to the Inova MK1 (diode laser, ambient air, benchtop):
Sinterit Lisa, 5 W diode — chamber 140 °C, print-surface 178 °C, 0.1 mm layer.
[SciRep 2025]

Use: sanity-check any proposed override against these bounds; a suggestion
outside the envelope needs explicit justification. Our own verified profile
ladder (14–40 mJ/mm energy densities, build_registry) remains the primary
reference — this envelope is the outer fence, not the target.
