Technology & Products
Key Products
CP600 chemical vapor polishing system (industrial); Vapor20 entry-level chemical vapor polishing system (20L chamber); self-developed PA12 nylon powder for SLS printing
Technological Advantage
Proprietary physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology adapted for polymer 3D printing post-processing; achieves surface roughness reduction from 14μm to 2μm; improves part toughness, airtightness, hydrophobicity; CE certified; passed cytotoxicity testing for medical applications
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Domestically produced chemical vapor polishing equipment that reduces surface roughness of 3D-printed nylon parts from 14μm to 2μm (near-injection-molding quality), while improving toughness, airtightness, hydrophobicity, and dyeability
How They Differentiate
Domestic alternative to imported chemical vapor polishing systems (primarily AMT from UK); lower cost; localized technical support; proprietary IP with patents under substantive examination; also supplies self-developed PA12 powder
