Smart Vapor Smoothing
Automated Post-Processing
The vacuum system in Zortrax Apoller maintains the pressure inside the smoothing chamber lower than the external pressure, even after the solvent has vaporized. This ensures that the vapors remain inside the chamber instead of being expelled.

Flexible manufacturing plants with 3D printing farms enable cost-efficient handling of low to medium-scale production in-house, allowing for on-the-fly adjustments. When combined with Apoller post-processing devices, these setups can deliver product quality comparable to injection molding.

Zortrax Apoller ensures industrial-class reliability through careful engineering and redundancy measures. The device is double-sealed from the environment, maintaining lower pressure in the smoothing chamber than the room to prevent fumes from escaping. Even during power outages, an electromagnetic lock keeps the chamber closed, automatically decontaminating it when power is restored before allowing access.

In the Zortrax Apoller smoothing chamber, vapors circulate upward to evenly cover the models. Delicate and intricate details receive a reduced amount of solvent to preserve their shape. Afterward, the condensation system collects excess solvent for reuse.
