DyeMansion VX1 Vapor Smoothing Transform Functional Prints into Premium Products

The VX1 is a professional vapor smoothing system that transforms SLS-printed parts into smooth, sealed, and end-use-ready products. Developed by DyeMansion – the global leader in post-processing for polymer additive manufacturing – it brings industrial-grade surface finishing to compact production environments, without the complexity or footprint of large-scale systems.

The VX1 supports PA12, PA11, and TPU – the most widely used materials in compact SLS printing. For full material compatibility details and cartridge availability, contact our team directly.

A standard cycle runs between 1.5 and 3 hours. Operation is straightforward: load parts, insert the material cartridge, select the smoothing level, and start the process. No specialist knowledge is required – the VX1 is a true plug-and-play system with a compact footprint, standard single-phase power, and minimal training needed.

Yes. The VX1 operates with a non-toxic, PFAS-free solvent in a fully closed environment. The cartridge-based system prevents direct operator contact with solvents, and energy consumption is less than 1 kWh per cycle.

The VX1 seals the surface of SLS parts, eliminates porosity, improves mechanical properties, and delivers a premium visual appearance comparable to injection-molded parts. Parts become suitable for end-use applications in medical, industrial, and consumer contexts where raw SLS output does not meet the required standard.

In-house vapor smoothing gives you full process control – over quality, timing, and cost. No lead times, no dependency on third-party suppliers, no per-part outsourcing fees. The VX1 completes your compact SLS workflow so that every step, from printing to finished product, stays under your roof.

Absolutely. The VX1 is designed precisely for operators of compact SLS printers who want industrial-grade surface quality in-house. It delivers the same finishing standard that large-scale industrial systems provide as default – now accessible alongside any compact SLS setup.

The VX1 features a compact footprint that allows it to fit easily into workshops, labs, and production facilities. Despite its compact size, it offers the largest process chamber in its class with a volume of 24.6 liters.

Yes. The VX1 is an excellent addition to the Sinterit ecosystem. Combined with Sinterit SLS printers and depowdering solutions, it enables a complete Print-to-Product workflow, helping users create smooth, sealed, and market-ready parts entirely in-house.

The VX1 is used wherever end-use surface quality matters: medical and orthotics, industrial manufacturing, consumer products, UAV and defense, and food and pharma applications. Any use case where raw SLS parts are not acceptable for deployment is a candidate for vapor smoothing.
