Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a kind of additive manufacturing technology, which has very good rapid prototyping ability, flexible use and simple operation. By the industry insiders very much attention. In this paper, the optimum treatment of selective laser sintering process parameters is studied. In this paper, orthogonal experiment method is adopted to systematically study the influence of four process parameters of selective laser sintering: laser power, scanning speed, scanning spacing and stratification thickness on mechanical properties. The tensile, compressive and flexural strength of the sintered parts of coated sand was measured by a universal sand strength meter, and the micromorphology of each group of coated sand was observed byscanning electron microscope (SEM). The mechanical properties of the sintered parts with coated sand were the best when the optimal sintering process was achieved: the laser power was 35W, the scanning speed was 3000 mm/s, the scanning interval was 0.17mm, and the stratified thickness was 0.32 mm. The tensile strength is 1.524MPa, the compression strength is 0.527MPa, and the bending strength is 0.38MPa. At the same time, the microscopic observation shows that the degree of solidification of sand grains is relatively high, and there are many connecting necks formed between sand grains.
