Achieve a glossy, uniform finish with enhanced durability—perfect for high-quality prototypes and end-use parts. Smooths layer lines while maintaining precision. Reach out to MXY Machining for expert finishing services.
Vapor smoothing enhances surface quality by eliminating layer lines, creating a glossy, uniform finish while maintaining precision. It also improves durability and moisture resistance, making it ideal for prototypes and end-use parts. Below is the precision table for vapor smoothing:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Surface Roughness (Ra) | 0.4 – 1.2 µm |
| Compatible Materials | ABS, ASA, Polycarbonate, Nylon, TPU |
| Dimensional Tolerance Impact | ±0.1 – ±0.3 mm variation due to material swelling/shrinkage |
| Visual Appearance | Glossy, uniform finish with reduced layer lines |
| Mechanical Properties | Slight increase in impact resistance, minimal strength reduction |
| Chemical Used | Acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), or proprietary vapor agents |
| Best Applications | Consumer products, medical enclosures, automotive parts, prototypes |
