Information
Vapor smoothing eliminates rough surfaces and leaves a glossy, aesthetic finish on parts.
After the parts have been 3D printed, they are transferred into a smoothing chamber. Using controlled evaporation, a vaporized smoothing agent condenses on the parts’ surfaces creating a controlled chemical melt.
This process reduces peaks and troughs on the surface by liquifying and redistributing material evenly in a carefully controlled atmosphere. Once finished, the equipment evacuates the finishing agent to a collection vat so there is no residue left on the parts.
