Vapor smoothing service

Vapor smoothing is an advanced post-processing technique that uses solvent vapors to smooth the surface of 3D-printed parts. The vapor gently melts the outer layer of the material, removing layer lines and enhancing surface finish without compromising part integrity. This service is ideal for achieving a polished appearance on complex geometries, especially in industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical devices.

Advantages:

Superior Surface Finish: Removes visible layer lines, resulting in a smooth, glossy surface ideal for cosmetic and functional parts.
Improved Aesthetics & Functionality: Enhances the visual appeal while maintaining part strength and performance.
Material Compatibility: Works with a wide range of thermoplastics, including ABS, PLA, and nylon, for various 3D printing materials.
Time & Cost Efficiency: Offers an effective solution for finishing parts with intricate details, reducing the need for additional labor-intensive post-processing.

Vapor smoothing is the perfect solution for parts requiring a smooth, high-quality surface finish, especially when dealing with complex designs and demanding applications.
