High precision and tight tolerances are made of metalThe most sought-after qualities in 3D printing, even if they cannot be measured directly. However, you will still see the word “solution”, so let’s address it here.
most popular metalThe 3D printing method is Selective Laser Melting (SLM), or more accurately known as Metal Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). It is the highest resolution metal technology after micrometal 3D printing.
The LPBF 3D printer uses a high-power laser to trace the cross-section of the part onto a bed of metal powder and selectively melt it. The roller then dispenses another layer of powder and merges the next layer of powder with the first layer. The melted parts are fused layer by layer on a molecular basis until a seamless pattern is complete.

becauseLPBF is a laser technology, so resolution can be measured by a combination of laser diameter, laser orientation accuracy and layer height. Indeed, these measurements (layer height and laser spot) are generally provided by the printer manufacturer and do not refer to the resolution.
