PolySmooth, one of the specialty filaments from Polymaker is an easy-to-print filament designed for hands-free post processing. The surface can be smoothed with alcohol to achieve layer-free models using the optional Polymaker Polysher. PolySmooth features Polymaker's Layer-Free technology, which involves exposing a 3D printed part to an aerosol of micro-sized alcohol droplets, generated by a rapidly vibrating, perforated membrane called the nebulizer. The aerosol will then be adsorbed by the surface of the 3D printed part and render it smooth and layer-free.
PolySmooth is compatible with most of the 3D printers available on the market. Examples include the Ultimaker, Flashforge, Snapmaker, LulzBot, Raise3D, Flsun, Artillery, Anycubic, Creality, and more.
