When done correctly, vapour smoothing makes 3D printed models virtually indistinguishable from injection moulded models. It’s a popular post-processing technique because it eliminates layer lines, resulting in a glossy or matte final product. However, the liquids used – acetone or MEK – are hazardous and volatile. Traditionally, vapour smoothing is

We love hearing about new applications for the Makyu FormBox. There’s just something about the whole vacuum forming process that enchants us. Perhaps it’s how easy it is to make moulds of everyday objects, or the fact we can 3D print a custom model and vacuum form it in minutes.
