The innovative Polysher improves, smooths and glosses the surface of 3D printed parts with Polymakers nebulised polyshing technology! This product is compatible with PolySmooth & PolyCast filament. The Polysher™ is a desktop post processing unit designed to remove layer lines from PolySmooth™ and PolyCast™ prints. The Polysher™ uses Polymaker’s Layer-Free™ technology to create a fine mist of isopropyl alcohol which evenly smooths the model. Key Features Professional Surface Quality - The Polysher™ is a reliable and automatic solution which improves the surface quality of 3D printed parts, achieving a professional smooth and glossy surface. Intuitive & Easy To Use - The Polysher™ is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, simply turn the control dial to select your polishing time and sit back. The polishing process typically takes between 20 - 40 minutes for most models. Safety First - The Polysher is air tight sealed so no spark can be generated inside the chamber. Polymakers Layer-Free™ technology uses cold liquid-phase polishing rather than heated vapour-phase smoothing, a safer form of post-processing. The Polysher's lift design also ensures IPA is contained inside the chamber when removing parts while the integrated smart electronics ensure maximum safety in work and education environments. Detail Maintained - With Polymakers Layer-Free™ technology, the fine mist of isopropyl alcohol evenly coats the part while preserving details and dimensions. Low Costs - The Polysher™ is an affordable solution which requires only a very small reservoir of Isopropyl Alcohol, recycling run-off IPA for efficient and low cost polishing. Technology Polysher™ uses Polymaker's Layer-Free™ technology: Layer-Free™ technology involves exposing a 3D printed part to an aerosol of micro-sized alcohol droplets, generated by a rapidly vibrating, perforated membrane called the nebuliser. The aerosol will then be adsorbed by the surface of the 3D printed part and render it smooth and layer-free. Safety Polymakers technology is intrinsically safer than other smoothing techniques:- No heating is involved - The nebuliser technology requires only a very small reservoir - Isopropyl Alcohol is safer than smoothing chemicals like Acetone or MEK- It is a liquid-phase polishing rather than vapour-phase polishing process (the latter is more dangerous for a number of reasons) Polymaker have also implemented a number of safety features into the machine: - Multiple sensors to detect any sign of malfunction of the nebuliser (e.g. running dry) - Chamber open/close sensor (the machine won’t start if the chamber is open, and will automatically terminate if the chamber is accidentally open during polishing) - All electronic components (running at very low voltages) are properly sealed, and no spark can be generated inside the chamber. Operation 3D print your part with PolySmooth™ or PolyCast™ (sold separately), just like what you normally do with PLA; Fill the reservoir with isopropyl alcohol. (NOTE - Do not fill the reservoir with other liquids or solvents other than isopropyl alcohol or ethanol as this will damage the Polysher™.) Place your printed part in the Polysher™; Set the polishing time by turning the knob; a typical part takes 20 - 40 minutes, depending on the size of your part. Once polishing is finished, the stage will automatically lift up for you to easily get the part. Operating the Polysher™ is that easy!
