The Powerfuse S builds on DyeMansion's innovative strength from recent years and could turn out to be a pioneering game changer as their first coloring solution for Powder Bed Fusion parts was in 2015 or the company’s first complete solution covering all post-processing steps in 2017. It’s the system behind their proprietary VaporFuse Surfacing technology and the first chemical smoothing solution that proves to be clean and industry-ready on the basis of obvious characteristics.
“I am very proud of my team at DyeMansion for developing a system that will set new standards in the industry and impressively proves that our company is able to offer solutions at the highest industrial level”, says Felix Ewald, CEO & co-founder at DyeMansion.

A CLEAN TECHNOLOGY FOR THE OPERATORAND ENVIRONMENT
Different from solutions with corrosive solvents or acids, DyeMansion’s VaporFuse Eco Fluid solvent is harmless and safe for the operator and the environment. It can safely be used for the processing of plastics with food contact according to regulation (EU) 10/2011. The solvent is circulated continuously in a closed loop and automatically recovered by the system. This enables a sustainable contact-free process without chemical waste.
READY FOR THE FUTURE OF MANUFACTURING
The Powerfuse S is Industry 4.0 ready. The system offers a fully automatic loading option, connectivity and batch tracking features. Validated and specially developed programs for most common materials are available and ready to use. In addition, all process parameters can be adapted individually for other materials. This ensures flexibility and a seamless integration with existing production processes such as the DyeMansion Print-to-Product workflow. Both the Powerfuse S and DM60 are included in the Siemens Automation Technology for digital AM factory planning at Formnext.
NEW WHITEPAPER: STATE-OF-THE-ART SURFACING

For the Powerfuse S launch, DyeMansion published a new whitepaper focusing on a comparison of gloss and surface roughness of EOS PA2200, HP 3D HR PA 12 and L&V LUVOSINT TPU 92A parts after both PolyShot and VaporFuse Surfacing. The paper can be requested from DyeMansion directly and is also displayed at Formnext on booth 11.1, D61. The company’s Formnext slogan for this year is called “Find your Finish”. Like the whitepaper it underlines that there is not one finish serving every application. While PSS is a mechanical surface treatment that achieves a matte-glossy look, VFS delivers sealed and washable surfaces without losing edges for injection molded like surfaces. These properties and the ability to process internal surfaces open up totally new possibilities in the medical and food & beverage sector.
“VaporFuse Surfacing will open new opportunities for DyeMansion in terms of finishable materials from various technologies especially FDM. We are looking forward to our pilot phase that starts immediately after Formnext and will last for three to six months opening many doors to new applications”, tells Kai Witter, Chief Customer Officer at DyeMansion.
