Bring industrial vapor smoothing in-house and transform your SLS parts into premium, production-ready products.

The VX1 delivers the surface quality your customers expect – without the complexity, cost, or footprint of large-scale finishing systems.

Let's Discuss Your Project

With a 24.6-liter process chamber, the VX1 offers the highest capacity in its category. Process more parts in a single cycle while maintaining a compact footprint, helping you increase productivity without sacrificing valuable workspace.

The VX1 makes professional vapor smoothing accessible to every user. Its intuitive workflow, cartridge-based system, and standard power requirements allow you to start producing high-quality finished parts with minimal training and low upfront investment.

Developed by DyeMansion, the VX1 uses a non-toxic, PFAS-free solvent in a closed processing environment for safe and clean operation. The cartridge return program, combined with low energy consumption, helps reduce both operating costs and environmental impact.

Load Your Parts

Simply place your printed components into the VX1 process chamber. The spacious 24.6-liter capacity allows you to process multiple parts in a single cycle, maximizing efficiency and throughput.

Insert the Material Cartridge

Choose the dedicated cartridge for your material and insert it into the system. The closed cartridge-based design ensures clean, safe handling with no direct contact with solvents.

Select Your Smoothing Level

Adjust the finishing intensity to match your application requirements. Whether you need subtle surface enhancement or a premium injection-molded-like appearance, the VX1 gives you full control over the final result.

Start the Process

Launch the cycle and let the VX1 do the work. In just 1.5 to 3 hours, your parts emerge smooth, sealed, and ready for end-use applications—without complex setup, specialized expertise, or additional manual finishing.

Applications Across Industries

From prototyping to production, the VX1 helps manufacturers across industries transform 3D printed parts into smooth, sealed, and customer-ready products.

Typical applications include:

Medical & Healthcare – Orthotics, prosthetics, medical device housings, and laboratory equipment.

Industrial Manufacturing – Machine components, tooling, spare parts, and fluid handling systems.

Service Providers – Functional prototypes, end-use parts, and small-batch production.

Consumer Products – Eyewear, footwear, sports equipment, and lifestyle products.

Food, Beverage & Pharma – Robotics components, pick-and-place systems, and fluid handling applications.
