Our VaporFuse Eco Fluid solvent is approved for the processing of plastics with food contact according to regulation (EU) 10/2011. The solvent is circulated continuously in a closed loop and automatically recovered by the system. This enables a sustainable contact-free process without chemical waste. Operating the Powerfuse S does not require protective clothing against chemical hazards.
across all geometries
VaporFuse Surfacing (VFS) delivers sealed and washable parts with injection molding like surfaces. The surface roughness is reduced to a minimum. The entire process chamber is flooded with vapor while undergoing vacuum. This ensures a reproducible processing of complex geometries and internal surfaces. VFS works for all common plastics and particularly for flexible polymers such as TPU, for which mechanical techniques are not suitable.
The Powerfuse S is Industry 4.0 ready. The system offers fully automatic loading, connectivity and batch tracking features. Validated and specially developed programs for all common materials are available and ready to use. In addition, all process parameters can be adapted individually for other materials. This ensures flexibility and a seamless integration with existing production processes such as the DyeMansion Print-to-Product workflow.
