1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:

A dual approach was used to investigate the influence of laser power and impact time on maximum temperatures during laser exposure. The Laser-HS-DSC was used to analyze the laser beam material interaction, and these results were compared with infrared camera measurements in a SLS system.

2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:

A commercial available polyamide 12 (PA 12) powder was used for the experiments. For Laser-HS-DSC measurements, a low amount of virgin powder particles was used to assure the reproducibility of the investigations.

3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:

A combination of a commercial Flash-DSC and an integrated optical system, consisting of a CO2 laser, lenses and a beam splitter, was used for Laser-HS-DSC. For single spot exposure experiments, a temperature-stabilized laser sintering system was used. An infrared (IR) thermographic system was applied for characterizing the exposure process in situ.

4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:

The experiments were performed on a measuring chip several times one following the other. The samples were heated at 1,000 K/s to 170 °C, which corresponds to the temperature of the building chamber. During an isothermal phase of 5 seconds, the laser exposure was conducted with various frequencies from 1 kHz to 10 kHz.

5：Data Analysis Methods:

The temperature profile, the maximum temperature, decay time and the heating rate were evaluated. The heating rate was calculated according to the equation provided in the paper.
