What is Vapor Smoothing 3D printing?
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.
What are the advantages & disadvantages of using Vapor Smoothing?
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
How is it vapor smoothing made?
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,
