The startup Dyemansion integrates ASM, a young Munich-based company specializing in vapor smoothing, the post-processing of 3D-printed plastic parts. A machine treats the components with a special vapor that smooths and seals the surface. This results in products that not only look higher quality but are also more durable, hygienic, and airtight.
Dyemansion expands its portfolio
Through the acquisition, Dyemansion complements its offering with the VX1 from ASM, an entry-level solution for smaller production environments. The portfolio now covers three product tiers up to highly industrial solutions. The vapor smoothing segment is considered the largest market area in post-processing additively manufactured components.
“We are pleased to announce that Dyemansion has acquired ASM. The 3D printing industry needs strong players who sustainably consolidate the market and lead it into the next phase. That is exactly our mission at Dyemansion – and with the acquisition of ASM, we are sending a clear signal to the market and our partners. We have been working together successfully for several years and the ASM team has done outstanding work. We are delighted to now officially welcome them as part of the Dyemansion family”,
explains Felix Ewald, CEO & Co-Founder of Dyemansion.
ASM was founded in 2021 and launched the VX1 in 2024. The system quickly established itself as a compact entry-level solution in vapor smoothing. The VX1 operates with an environmentally friendly, reusable solvent and processes materials such as PA12, PA11, and TPU.
“With its strong market position and global distribution network, Dyemansion is the ideal partner for our technology. Together, we can now make our entry-level vapor smoothing solution accessible to a much broader market and further increase its value for the industry. Our successful sales partnership over the past year already elevated ASM to a new level, and I look forward to continuing down this path as part of the Dyemansion team, ensuring the best possible support for all existing and new VX1 customers and partners”,
says Philipp Ziegler, Co-Founder of ASM and now Global Product & Market Manager VX1 at Dyemansion.
Dyemansion most recently received an investment of 15 million euros in 2022 from the European Innovation Council and the European Investment Bank. Even then, the startup was regarded as a technology leader in post-processing. With the integration of ASM, the company is further strengthening its significance in the 3D printing industry.
