| # 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. | |
