Vapor Smoothing Vapor smoothing is a post-processing technique that uses chemical vapors (e.g., acetone for ABS) to melt and smooth the surface of 3D printed parts. It reduces visible layer lines, enhances surface gloss, and improves water resistance. Vapor smoothing is ideal for aesthetic models, functional prototypes, and airtight enclosures. Proper safety measures, including ventilation and protective gear, ensure safe handling of chemicals. Advanced vapor smoothing chambers provide consistent exposure, temperature control, and fume extraction. It enhances surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical strength. |
