Powershot S

Powershot S Performance

Powerfuse S

Low to Mid-Volume Surface Finishing

The Powershot S uses PolyShot Surfacing to improve the look and feel of low- or mid-volume batches of 3D-printed parts quickly, all while minimizing operator involvement.
High-Volume Surface Finishing

The Powershot S Performance increases processing volume and automation opportunities for high volumes of parts, further reducing costs and operator involvement for each part.
PolyShot Surfacing

Streamline post-processing by automating both cleaning and surfacing tasks, eliminating the need to switch machines and supporting auto-loading and unloading for an efficient workflow.
VaporFuse Smoothing

Enhances the surface quality of 3D-printed parts by melting and smoothing the outer layer with a vaporized solvent, resulting in a polished finish and improved mechanical properties.
Automated Loading and Unloading

The system simplifies post-processing by integrating cleaning and surfacing into one machine, eliminating the need to switch between separate devices.
Connectivity

Connectivity – “OPC UA interface for unidirectional communication via DyeMansion Data Connect (optional), remote support via VPN
Pre-Installed Processing Parameters

DyeMansion includes several quick-start processing programs to account for various material and part volume combinations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can vapor-smoothed parts be utilized in food applications?

Approval for parts processed with the Powerfuse S Series of machines for repeated, direct food contact applications can apply.

Does the VaporFuse surfacing solution pose any risk to operators or other facility staff?

The Powerfuse S Series utilizes a green, non-toxic solvent to vapor smooth parts. No additional safety gear is required to operate the machine, and no equipment is needed to run the system beyond the DyeMansion machine safely.

Can parts that have been surface smoothed by DyeMansion systems be further colored?

PolyShot Surfacing machines create an ideal surface for many coloring solutions, including the DM60 coloring system.

What parts are compatible with the PolyShot Surfacing process?

Like the DyeMansion Cleaning systems, PolyShot Surfacing machines can process parts from many powder-based additive manufacturing processes. This includes MJF, HSS, SAF, and SLS.

Are there any limitations on what the VaporFuse solvent can smoothen?

Powerfuse S Vapor Smoothing systems can process a wide range of rigid and semi-rigid 3D-printed plastics. This includes several Nylons, TPUs, and ULTEM.

Can I chemically process polypropylene utilizing the Powerfuse S machines?

A polypropylene configuration is available for both the Powerfuse S manual loading and automatic loading options. This lets users chemically process their polypropylene 3D printed parts to a level alongside injection molded geometry.
