CUSTOMER VOICES
“The VX1 is an excellent fit for us, both economically and technologically. The nontoxic, food-safe solvent, predictable operating costs, and the well-utilized process chamber provide us with planning reliability. We now operate two VX1 systems and use them to efficiently process parts with varying wall thicknesses — without additional packaging waste.”
“The VX1 allows us to bring vapor smoothing in-house, significantly reducing lead times and logistics effort while improving cleanability, surface quality, and overall process efficiency across both prototyping and production.”
“The VX1 enables us, as a service provider, to deliver vapor smoothed surface quality at both small and high volumes with excellent throughput, easy operation, and reliable support, allowing us to compete with much larger service bureaus and win new high-volume customers.”
