Vapor Smoothing Finishing

MXY Machining’s Vapor Smoothing Finishing services enhance surface quality by refining textures, delivering smooth, polished finishes while improving durability and visual appeal.

What is Vapor Smoothing Finishing?

Vapor Smoothing Finishing is a post-processing technique used to improve the surface finish of 3D-printed or machined plastic parts. It involves exposing the part to chemical vapors, such as acetone or other solvents, which soften and smooth the outer layer of the material. This process eliminates visible layer lines, enhances surface uniformity, and creates a glossy or polished appearance without altering the part’s geometry.

The Benifits of Vapor Smoothing Finishing

Vapor smoothing completely eliminates layer lines and roughness, delivering finishes that rival injection‑molded quality from high‑gloss to sealed matte. It fuses surface particles and closes micro‑pores, boosting mechanical strength, impact resistance, and protection against moisture and chemicals. Sealed surfaces are easier to clean and less prone to bacterial buildup, meeting strict hygiene standards. Smoother textures also reduce friction and wear on moving parts. The process refines surfaces without altering critical dimensions, cuts manual finishing labor, and works reliably across ABS, ASA, Nylon, PC, and TPU giving you faster turnaround and consistent quality from prototype to production.

Whether it’s for prototyping or full-scale production, our finishing solutions ensure that your parts meet the highest standards of performance and visual appeal for all needs.

High‑Gloss

Eliminates all visible layer lines and roughness, delivering a flawless reflective, mirror‑like finish comparable to injection‑molded quality. The surface becomes fully sealed, smooth, and uniform, ideal for premium consumer electronics, displays, cosmetic housings, and any application requiring a sleek, high‑end appearance.

Mirror‑Smooth

Eliminates all layer lines and micro‑roughness, producing a flawless, highly reflective surface that matches injection‑molded quality. Fully sealed and uniform, it delivers premium aesthetics, improved chemical resistance, and exceptional smoothness for high‑end electronics, display covers, and cosmetic components.

Uniform Satin

Eliminates layer lines and roughness to deliver a smooth, consistent low‑sheen finish with a soft, premium feel. Reduces glare and resists fingerprints, while sealing the surface for better hygiene and durability. Ideal for medical devices, control panels, professional equipment, and parts needing a refined look without high reflection.

Semi‑Gloss

Removes all layer lines and roughness to deliver a smooth, balanced moderate sheen less reflective than high‑gloss but more polished than matte. Fully sealed and uniform, it resists fingerprints and minor scuffs while offering a professional, refined look. Perfect for automotive trim, appliance housings, and parts needing a sleek finish without excessive glare.

Sealed Matte

Eliminates layer lines and closes all micro‑pores for a smooth, non‑reflective, uniform matte surface. Fully sealed against moisture and contaminants, it resists glare, fingerprints, and bacterial buildup. Ideal for hygiene‑critical medical devices, fluid systems, and functional parts needing reliable sealing plus a clean, professional low‑glare appearance.

Enhanced Base Finish

Removes layer lines and closes micro‑porosity to create a uniformly smooth, clean, and consistent base surface. Optimized for excellent paint adhesion, printing, dyeing, or further coating delivering better bond strength and a flawless final appearance without excessive gloss. Ideal for parts that will receive additional cosmetic or protective treatments.
