Vapor smoothing seals and smooths 3D printed polymer parts, so devices worn against the skin are comfortable, easier to keep clean and finished like a premium product. Prosthetics and orthotics makers vapor smooth powder-bed parts, most often from HP Multi Jet Fusion and SLS printers, in PA11, PA12 and TPU.
Key applications
Printers and materials
MJF and SLS, plus SAF and HSS for PA12
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.
Point Designs prints each partial hand prosthesis to fit one patient, then vapor smooths it on a PostPro SFX for a sealed, comfortable surface and a premium finish.
The clinic combines HP Multi Jet Fusion printing with PostPro vapor smoothing so devices worn every day are comfortable, easier to keep clean, and can carry custom colors and graphics.

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.

Prosthetics and orthotics makers vapor smooth devices for exactly that. Orthobroker reports smooth, non-abrasive surfaces for better skin contact, and the Atlantic Clinic a sealed, low-friction surface that improves comfort.
A raw print is porous and can trap contaminants. Vapor smoothing seals the surface: Orthobroker reports sealed finishes that prevent sweat absorption and bacteria growth.
Yes: AMT has published a cytotoxicity test for parts finished with FA5802 (Pure). The result, with the material tested, is in the published test results. A test result applies to the parts tested; it is not a biocompatibility or medical-device certification.
Most often HP Multi Jet Fusion and SLS printers, in PA11, PA12 and TPU; PA12 parts also come from SAF and HSS printers. Orthobroker, for example, prints its orthoses in HP PA11 and TPU on HP Multi Jet Fusion.
Clinics and labs often start on the desktop PostPro SFX; for production volumes there are the industrial PostPro SF50 and SF100.
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.
