Applications · Industrial
Vapor smoothing turns rough, porous 3D printed nylon into sealed, smooth parts that can work inside production machinery. Norden, Blue-White Industries and Intelligent Energy use it on pick-and-place parts, chutes, pump parts and drone casings.
Key applications
Printers and materials
Norden prints on HP Multi Jet Fusion. PostPro smooths parts from MJF, SLS, SAF, HSS and FDM.
Case studies
Each case study is the customer’s published account: the summary here, the full story and the PDF one click away.
Norden swapped a sheet metal assembly for one printed PA12 chute. Vapor smoothing lowers internal friction for better waste flow and makes the part easier to keep clean.
Norden replaced a machined, multi-part assembly with one HP MJF part with internal vacuum channels, then vapor smoothed it for a sealed surface fit for hygiene-critical machinery.

Next step
Starting prices are public and the cost-per-part math is yours to check, with no email needed for either. The free benchmark puts your own parts, vapor smoothed, in your hands.
01Quote
Pick a system and its options, and send AMT an itemized quotation request. Each system shows its starting price.
02ROI
Compare your cost per part with manual finishing, using your own labor rate and volumes. Every assumption is editable.
03Benchmark
Ship us your parts with a prepaid label. We vapor smooth them and send them back with before-and-after photos and a benchmark report.
No cost to evaluate · Parts returned · Typical turnaround 2–3 weeks
Prices: starting prices, excluding tax and shipping; everything else is priced in your quotation.

A sealed, uniform surface is easier to keep clean. Norden vapor smooths parts for its tube filling machines to get the finish hygiene-critical environments require, with lower friction and less wear in operation.
Norden replaced a multi-component, machined assembly with a single HP MJF part with internal vacuum channels, then vapor smoothed it.
It seals the surface. In AMT’s tests on SLS PA2200 parts, burst pressure rose by up to 7%, with dimensional change of 0.4% or less.
Yes. Send a few of your printed parts to AMT’s benchmarking program and they come back vapor smoothed: no cost to evaluate, parts returned, typical turnaround 2–3 weeks.
