Here at Graphite Additive Manufacturing, our Professional 3d Printing Services are utilised across a range of industries, for many demanding applications.
In everything we do, we have a desire to make a real difference across the industries we operate in; pushing boundaries by being innovative, providing expert advice and delivering engineering excellence.
We are pleased to now be partnered up with Additive Manufacturing Technologies – a post-processing company who specialise in Vapour Smoothing.
This finishing option takes already high-performance materials, and gives them superior sealing for a various range of demanding applications and we are now able to offer this finishing option to many of our clients.
The process can be applied to a wide range of materials, which include our very own MJF PA12, Graphite SLS and Carbon SLS. But it doesn’t stop there. Many other parts that have been built from other, mainly nylon, based materials can also be smoothed.
Key benefits of Additive Manufacturing Technologies’ vapour smoothing include:
- Being 100% Sealed
- Injection Moulded Surface Quality
- Improved Colour
AMT’s proprietary Boundary Layer Automated Smoothing Technology (BLASTTM Process) works in reducing lead times, the manufacturing costs and the operational and maintenance costs. The process is a physio-chemical one that can smooth a wide range of thermoplastic polymers. The technology is highly controllable, which allows for reproducible results without the degradation of the parts’ mechanical properties. We feel that this provides the ‘missing piece’ in the digital manufacturing chain – a real game changer for the industry.
We are sure that this process will be a popular offering for a range of our clients across many industries. With the benefits available, this technology will enhance the finish of many, demanding applications.
