Layer appearance and sharpness
  Normal resolution—an SL part build using a .010" or larger laser beam diameter and .004" or greater layer thickness. Building parts in this manner results in the most cost-effective build, but may not catch all of the tiny features of small parts or tools. This is the resolution that is available at most SL service bureaus.

High resolution—an SL part build using a .003" - .004" diameter laser beam and/or a layer thickness less than .004". Building parts with the smaller laser beam diameter results in parts with sharp corners and the thinnest possible walls. Thin layers reduce the cleanup required to smooth out contours or to polish tooling masters. This build style results in the most accurate, highest quality parts available in the industry.
