To explain this aspect better, below are some images of typical sintered finishes that highlight the grain related to the original powder and the definition of the “construction layer”.

NB: the visual effect related to the actual texture of the construction techniques can improve the visual effect reproduced on wide objects characterised by soft surfaces with tangential angles of over 15 degrees. Very small objects or those with tangential angles of between 1 and 9 degrees, can give the impression of having lower quality resolution (as shown in the first photo).
