[Ask an engineer](https://amtechnologies.com/contact-us/?topic=engineer&for=SF50#engineer) ### What is the PostPro SF50? An automated, industrial vapor smoothing system by AMT (Additive Manufacturing Technologies), sized for low-volume production of end-use parts. It finishes 3D printed polymer parts in a 400 × 300 × 400 mm process chamber, in an automated cycle of up to 2 h.[2] ### How is the SF50 different from the SF100? Both share the same 830 × 1400 × 1830 mm[1] cabinet, the same controls and the same automated cycle of up to 2 h. The SF50's process chamber is 400 × 300 × 400 mm (50 L); the SF100's is 400 × 600 × 400 mm (100 L).[2] ### Which parts and materials can the SF50 smooth? Parts from MJF, SLS, SAF, HSS; FDM (including Ultem, Onyx, ABS and ASA)[1,2,3] printers, in PA12 · PA11 · TPU · TPE · PP (FA9202) · FDM (Ultem, Onyx, ABS, ASA)[1,2,3]. Three finishing agents are available: FA5802 (Pure) · FA326 · FA9202[2,3]. ### How much does the PostPro SF50 cost? The SF50's starting price is in the Price chapter on this page, excluding tax and shipping. Every SF50 is supplied with the PostPro SF50 Ancillaries Pack, and installation, remote or on site, is part of every order;[8] your quotation prices them with the machine, with training and the care pack you choose: RemoteCare (standard tier) or HyperCare (premium tier), for one, two or three years. ### What does the SF50 need on site? Three-phase power (Three-phase, 400 V or 480 V, 50/60 Hz; EU: L1+L2+L3+N+PE · US: L1+L2+L3+PE), a 830 × 1400 mm footprint and a recommended operating area of 2350 × 3200 mm.[1] Compressed air, extraction and network requirements come with your installation pack: [request installation requirements](https://amtechnologies.com/contact-us/?topic=engineer&q=Please+send+the+installation+requirements+for+the+PostPro+SF50.&for=SF50#engineer) ### Can I test my parts before I buy?
