MJF Finishing Options

Our large range of finishing equipment ensures that we can offer the full print to production workflow for almost every application possible. The range includes AMT's SF100 (Vapour smoothing) and Dyemansion’s DM60 (Deep Colour Dying) and Powershot equipment, all the way through to our spray booth and assembly, offering fully finished, repeatable parts, time after time.

Vapour Smoothing

Creates a smoother finish while reducing porosity. Particularly effective with TPU material.

Vibro Polishing

Also known as tumbling, this is a subtractive process that gives a smooth matte surface finish to parts. Sharp edges and corners are removed, but design details remain.

DM60 Deep Dye

Achieve consistent and repeatable finishes with DyeMansion DM60 DeepDye technology. Unlike paint, no extra thickness is added.

Spray Painting

We can paint to specific RAL codes and finishes using automotive-standard spray paints.

RAW MJF - GREY

Without any finishing options, MJF parts are grey with a surface texture comparable to Ra 5μm. Our batch production-ready finishing processes enhance this to meet your specific requirements.

All parts are blasted with DyeMansion’s Powershot C for a consistent finish.

BLACK DYE
& POLISH

Our most popular finishing option. Get consistent & repeatable finishes with the DyeMansion DM60 DeepDye technology. Unlike paint no extra thickness is added.

 

After every dye we polish our parts with the DyeMansion Powershot S which retains the texture but gives a
semi-gloss finish.

BLACK DYE ​& VAPOUR SMOOTH

AMT PostPro 100 smoothing creates a smooth glossy finish comparable to injection moulding.  The process uses a solution of vapour which reacts to the surface sealing it and reducing the porosity.

Also known as tumbling. This is subtractive process that gives a smooth matte surface finish to parts.  Sharp edges and corners are removed but design details remain.

Fully Finished

We have a fully equipped finishing workshop, complete with a professional spray booth.

 

Using spray guns, we apply automotive-quality paints to match specific RAL colour codes and finishes. The paint not only enhances the appearance but also adds a protective layer to the part.

Flexible TPU Finishing

Our 3D-printed flexible TPU material has slightly different finishes compared to Nylon. It vapour smooths particularly well. Please note that vapour smoothing significantly darkens the part, even without dye. However, for the best finish, a combination of black dye and vapour smoothing results in a darker, smoother black part.

Finishing Equipment

We have invested heavily in post-processing equipment, enabling us to offer world-class automated finishing for MJF 3D-printed parts. Our equipment and entire workshop are designed specifically for batch production volumes.

Vapour Smoothing

​

  • Fully automated surface finishing technology that smooths and seals the surface of 3D printed parts. Achieving a surface finish with an injection molded look and feel.

  • The process is non-line-of-sight and therefore can smooth complex geometries and internal cavities of thermoplastic parts without degrading the mechanical properties.

  • Combined with UL & CE certification, the patented PostPro vapor smoothing technology is recommended by the world leading additive manufacturing players.

Polishing & Dyeing Services

​

  • Our automated mechanical PolyShot Surfacing is the most efficient process on the market to achieve the best end-use part finish.

  • It does not remove any material and works perfectly for hard plastics like PA12 or PA11 across all intricated shapes. With a cycle time of ~ 10 minutes and a capacity of a mid sized build job per run, our polishing technology works very cost-effectively.

Industrial Deepdye Coloring

​

  • Dyemansion's DeepDye Coloring (DDC) technology offers near unlimited color choices.

  • In addition to over 170 RAL and standardized colors, which are ready-to-use without additional development costs and waiting times, our color matching also offers the possibility of creating individual tones for you – from corporate colors to seasonal trend colors and individual skin tones.
