About DyeMansion
DyeMansion is the manufacturer of the Print-to-Product platform for post-processing of additively manufactured plastic parts. The processes cover all finishing steps: shot-blasting cleaning (PolyShot Cleaning), surface finishing via blasting or chemical vapor smoothing (PolyShot Surfacing, VaporFuse Surfacing), and immersion dyeing (DeepDye Coloring) including color matching to RAL, Pantone, or customer specification. The workflow works with all powder-bed 3D printing technologies and materials such as PA11, PA12, PP, TPU, TPE, and TPA. In addition to machines, DyeMansion sells post-processing as a service through the Black Diamond Finishing Hub and On-Demand Finishing with a 2–4 working day lead time. The company also offers benchmarking, feasibility studies, application consulting, technical services, and digital services (Data Connect, Remote Service, DM Connect). Customers include 3D printing service providers and eyewear, footwear, and orthotics manufacturers, including Daimler and HKK Bionics. Headquarters are in Planegg near Munich, with a second site in Austin, Texas.
