ZORTRAX APOLLER SMART VAPOR SMOOTHING DEVICE
Lead Time (Processing/Shipping Handling Time): up to 4 weeks.
Zortrax Apoller is a smart device that automatically smooths FDM 3D printed models with MEK or acetone vapors to remove visible layering.
DEVICE FEATURES:
- 300x250x250 mm smoothing chamber
- Zortrax SVS technology
- MEK and acetone compatibility
- Intuitive touch interface
- Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity
- Compatibility with Z-ABS, Z-ULTRAT, Z-ULTRAT Plus, Z-ASA Pro, and Z-HIPS
- Compatibility with external materials including ABS, ASA, and HIPS
- Advanced vapor circulation system
- ATEX compliant safety systems
The smoothing process is fully automated and run by proprietary algorithms managing temperature, pressure, and concentration of solvent's vapors at all times. First, the model has to be placed inside the smoothing chamber. Once this is done, the chamber is heated enough to vaporize the solvent deposited in a sink below the glass tray. Vapors are then circulated spiraling upwards to evenly cover the model. Solvent's vapors condensate on surfaces leaving them with a glossy or matt finish, depending on the filament used. Finally, Zortrax Apoller dries the prints out to make them ready to use straight out of the chamber. Combined weekly output of 4 typical FDM 3D printers can be automatically smoothed within one day. Safety systems have been designed to meet the high standards required by the ATEX 2014/34/EU Directive regulating the equipment intended for explosive atmospheres.
