PostPro SFX
The world's first desktop vapor smoothing system
designed for smaller-scale SLS printers.
PostPro SF100
Built for production environments,
ideal for multiple industrial format printers.
PostPro SF50
Built for production environments,
ideal for industrial format printers and smaller sizes.
The SF-series machines are designed for high throughput production environments that require reliability, speed and cost-effectiveness.
The PostPro SF-Series machines set a new benchmark on the post-processing market.
With the largest chamber, fastest processing time, and smallest footprint on the market, the SF systems are new industry standard.
Vapor smoothing enhances the surface of 3D-printed parts, transforming rough textures into a smooth finish comparable to injection-molded products.
How is it done? The rough surface of a printed object is exposed to solvent vapors under controlled conditions. The vapor condenses on the part’s surface, eliminating peaks and troughs, and enhancing the part’s strength, aesthetics, and water resistance. This results in a smooth and professional appearance.

The parts are conditioned in the processing chamber to ensure they reach optimum processing conditions.
The vaporized consumable is injected into the processing chamber, evenly smoothing part surfaces under controlled conditions.
The parts are resolidified and the consumable is removed from the surface of the part, causing it to resolidify.
The parts are dried, ensuring that no consumable traces remain within the processing chamber. The parts are now ready for their end use application.

AMT is committed to sustainability. Our vapor smoothing systems use proprietary, environmentally friendly solvents that meet all major health, safety, and compatibility standards. Coupled with the closed-loop technology, this not only ensures the vapor smoothing process is safe for operators but also guarantees that the parts are safe for end users to handle.
Vapor smoothing is a surface finishing process that enables a uniform surface finish for thermoplastic polymers.
Complex geometries and structures characterized by intricate features are difficult to process manually. Automated vapor smoothing systems operate under vacuum, allowing the produced vapor to travel freely, condense on hard-to-reach areas of the part, and smooth them evenly.
It is a vital step in 3D printing post-processing, as it transforms parts into smoother, more functional, and aesthetically appealing finished products.
The PostPro SFX utilizes our cutting-edge green chemistry, PostPro Pure. Compatible with engineering plastics, the system produces a high quality vapor smoothed surface finish in any environment.
