Norck's Engineering Edge: It's About Performance & Aesthetics

• Design Considerations: We can advise on how part geometry and 3D printing parameters may affect the achievable surface finish after smoothing.
• Material Compatibility: Guidance on selecting 3D printing materials that are both suitable for your application and achieve optimal results with vapor smoothing.
• Process Optimization: Tailoring smoothing cycles to match your specific 3D printed material, desired surface finish, and part functionality requirements.
• Diverse Applications: Providing vapor smoothing solutions for functional prototypes, consumer-facing products, medical devices, and other parts where surface quality matters.

It is a post-process for 3D printed parts with a coarse surface finish to smooth visual aspects and enhance their mechanical properties. Vapor smoothing uses chemical vapor solvents to smooth the 3D-printed part by melting the surface.

Vapor Smoothing is used over other conventional post-processing methods due to:

   •   Better appearance (shiny instead of sugar-cubes-like surface finishing)
   •   Improved homogeneity of the material

Although there are disadvantages to using Vapor Smoothing:

   •  Smoothed features
   •  Minimum wall thickness

The 3D printed part is hung in a sealed chamber, which releases dissolvent fumes that melt the piece's external surface. Vapor smoothing can fill cavities, smooth sugar-cubes like surfaces, and enhance a part's appearance,

It is used with most polymers and elastomers, such as:

   •  ABS
   •  PP
   •  PC
   •  PLA
   •  PETG
   •  PA 12
   •  ASA

Parts and assemblies should follow specific design rules to be printed correctly. Norck offers engineering services that will help you confirm your design for 3D printing.
