About the Multi Jet Fusion Process

Our MJF process prints very fine grow lines, giving it the appearance of an injection molded part. Please note that the MJF process will always produce a textured finish. For a different result, another technology may need to be selected, or a post process applied to the product.

What is the SHOTSHEEN® finish?

The SHOTSHEEN® finish is our first trademarked finish. Unlike most MJF finishes, it resembles an injection molded part. We achieve this through an automated process, which results in numerous advantages over standard and manual finishing processes:

• Improved finish
  • Resembles a textured semi-gloss injection molded part finish
  • Powder is uniformly removed
  • Sharp edges and details are preserved
  • Finish is glossier and more suitable for dyeing
• Improved surface hardness
  • Parts are durable and scratch resistant
• Competitive costs
  • Because this is not a manual process, there is not a significant cost increase.

What is the VAPORSMOOTH finish?

The VAPORSMOOTH finish is our latest finish. The process chemically smooths the skin of the part. Unlike most MJF finishes, it resembles a high gloss injection molded part. This has all the advantages of the SHOTSHEEN® finish including:

• Improved finish
  • Resembles a textured gloss injection molded part finish
  • Shin that is sealed and not porous
  • Minimal change in dimensions
• Improved mechanical properties.
  • Increases the elongation at break.
• Consistent Results
  • Because this is not a manual process, and is done with programable equipment with an automated cycle it provides consistent results.
