AMT Vapour Smoothing Technology: Unlocking the Full Potential of 3D Printing
Vapour smoothing with AMT technology offers a transformative approach to enhancing the surface quality and performance of 3D printed parts. This advanced post-processing method improves dimensional accuracy, seals surfaces, and enhances mechanical properties—making it ideal for both prototypes and high-volume production. AMT's vapour smoothing machines deliver consistent, professional finishes that meet the demands of real-world applications.
The process effectively seals 3D printed plastic parts, making them air- and watertight. This is especially important in industries where part integrity is critical, such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and consumer goods. By integrating vapour smoothing machines into their workflow, manufacturers can achieve finishes previously difficult to obtain through conventional post-processing techniques. These sealed surfaces not only look polished but also support functional performance in sensitive environments.
AMT’s PostPro technology is designed for automated, scalable post-processing. It allows manufacturers to process large volumes of parts quickly and efficiently, cutting down on labour and production time. Central to this platform is its ability to maintain part consistency across batches, a necessity for growing additive manufacturing operations. The vapour smoothing process ensures every part meets strict aesthetic and functional standards.
A standout feature of AMT’s solution is its ability to deliver finishes comparable to injection molding. This is particularly valuable when parts require both performance and visual appeal. With smoother surfaces, parts are easier to dye and sanitize—key benefits for components intended for medical or food-contact applications. Vapour smoothing machines also improve resistance to environmental exposure, contributing to the longevity and durability of parts in everyday use.
The PostPro system offers precise control, enabling users to achieve repeatable results without degrading part quality. This high level of accuracy is vital in industries where reliability and compliance are essential. AMT’s vapour smoothing ensures parts retain their strength and shape, even after extensive post-processing.
One of the unique advantages of vapour smoothing is its ability to treat complex geometries and internal cavities using a non-line-of-sight method. This makes it possible to finish intricate parts that traditional post-processing can't handle effectively. Vapour smoothing machines can smooth every surface, including hidden or internal areas, resulting in a consistent, high-quality finish.
AMT’s technology is UL and CE certified, meeting international safety and quality standards. Its vapour smoothing machines are trusted by some of the world’s leading additive manufacturing companies for their reliability, performance, and scalability. These systems have become a cornerstone for manufacturers looking to elevate their 3D printing operations.
By adopting vapour smoothing as part of their workflow, manufacturers can significantly improve part quality, production speed, and end-use performance. Whether producing automotive components, aerospace parts, or medical devices, AMT’s technology ensures that 3D printed parts are truly production-ready—reliable, repeatable, and built to perform.
