We have been working together successfully for several years, and the ASM team has done an outstanding job. We’re excited to officially welcome them as part of the DyeMansion family”, says Felix Ewald, CEO & Co-Founder of DyeMansion.

About ASM & the VX1

The Munich-based company ASM was founded in 2021 and introduced the VX1 system in 2024, which has since established itself as a proven entry-level solution in the market. In October last year, DyeMansion and ASM announced a global sales partnership.

“With its strong market position and global sales network, DyeMansion is the ideal home for our technology. Together, we can bring our entry-level vapor smoothing solution to a much broader market and further increase its value for the industry. Our successful sales partnership over the past year has already taken the company to a new level, and I’m excited to continue this journey as part of the DyeMansion team, guaranteeing continuous, best-effort support for all existing and new VX1 customers and partners”, says Philipp Ziegler, Co-Founder ASM & now Global Product & Market Manager VX1 at DyeMansion.

The VX1 is an entry-level vapor smoothing solution, trusted by more than 50 customers worldwide such as the service bureau Formrise and the health company Goodsleep. With its small footprint, the all-in-one plug-and-play design, and the largest process chamber in its class, the system is designed for service providers, corporate innovation teams & small-scale production environments in general. It runs with a green, reusable solvent cartridge system. The solvent is non-toxic, PFAS-free, and contains no CMR or vPvM/PMT substances – one of DyeMansion’s core principles of sustainability and safety.

The VX1 can process common materials such as PA12, PA11, and TPU. Like all DyeMansion products, it is seamlessly integrated into the Print-to-Product workflow, connecting smoothly with other post-processing steps such as cleaning and coloring.
