C2 Post-Processing System for Chemical Surface Smoothing of 3D Parts

Oct. 29, 2021
The C2 System for chemical surface smoothing from AM Solutions allows the fully automatic chemical surface smoothing of 3D printed components.

The C2 provides chemical surface smoothing and application of dye in one single machine.

 

The system allows the fully automatic chemical surface smoothing of 3D printed components made of common polymers and elastomers (including TPU) in series. Thus, the costly single-piece handling of the workpieces is completely eliminated for this post-processing operation.

 

Of particular interest is that the non-hazardous processing media permits eco-friendly chemical surface smoothing so that the spent media can be easily disposed of without any environmental restrictions.

  • 2-in-1-process: chemical smoothing and dyeing in one single operation 
  • Significantly lower capital investment and small footprint
  • Immersion smoothing technology reduces processing times by up to 50%
  • Compared to alternative solutions, the costs per piece can be up to 60% lower
  • Up to 80% lower surface roughness
  • Closed system with continuous cleaning and recycling of the process liquid
  • More eco-friendly than other chemical smoothing processes
  • Flexible quick-connect clamping system allows intuitive part handling
  • Special lifting device ensures ergonomic loading and unloading of the parts
