Markforged Onyx – Vapor Smoothing Study

Markforged's Onyx material is known for its strength and uniform finish off the print bed, but when combined with AMT PostPro Vapor Smoothing, the result is an extremely durable part with a silky-smooth finish that doesn’t compromise mechanical properties.

• Study Details: Onyx CFR material / Markforged X7 printer / AMT PostPro SF post-processing
• Results:
  • Average 24% increase in tensile strength
  • Average 80% reduction in surface roughness
  • Removes layer lines and crack initiation sites, delivering a sealed surface finish with improved performance

"The Onyx parts we have run with AMT PostPro Vapor Smoothing turned out amazing and exceeded any expectations I had. It eliminates layer lines which allows us to run parts faster by printing them at 200 microns and still achieve a great surface finish." – Pete Kootstra, Re3DTech Director of Engineering

Formlabs Fuse Series – Vapor Smoothing Study

Formlabs and AMT partnered on a series of studies to evaluate the effects of PostPro Vapor Smoothing on PA11, PA12, and TPU90A parts.
