Sinterit now bundles DyeMansion's VX1 vapour smoothing and DM60 colouring with the BIANCO2 SLS printer, turning compact powder printing into a full print-to-product workflow.
One Supplier, End to End
Sinterit, the Polish SLS specialist behind the Lisa and Lisa X lines, has announced it will sell DyeMansion's post-processing hardware alongside its new BIANCO2 compact SLS system. The deal means a BIANCO2 buyer can now source the entire powder-to-product chain, printing, vapour smoothing, and colouring, through a single vendor rather than stitching together separate suppliers.
What's in the Bundle
The headline addition is the DyeMansion VX1, a plug-and-play vapour smoothing cabinet pitched as the easiest entry into professional surface finishing. It uses a cartridge-based solvent system to reflow the outer skin of SLS parts, sealing porosity and giving them an injection-moulded look and feel. Alongside it, Sinterit will offer the DM60 colouring system, DyeMansion's depth-dyeing line that tints parts evenly through their surface rather than just coating them.
Together they address the two weakest links in small-batch SLS: parts coming off the printer looking rough and unfinished, and the difficulty of getting consistent colour without painting each piece by hand.
Why BIANCO2 Changes the Math
BIANCO2 is Sinterit's most ambitious machine yet: a compact CO2 SLS printer with an open material ecosystem and up to 137 adjustable parameters in Sinterit Studio Ultimate. Priced at EUR 47,000 with first deliveries slated for Q4 2026, it targets companies that want industrial-grade nylon and flexible-polymer printing without standing up a full production floor. Adding DyeMansion finishing turns that into a credible alternative to sending parts out for post-processing, a meaningful shift for orthotics, consumer product, and low-volume engineering shops.
The Bigger Picture
SLS has long promised factory-in-a-box capability, but the post-processing gap kept most small operators dependent on service bureaus. By folding DyeMansion's proven surfacing and dyeing into the BIANCO2 purchase, Sinterit is betting that buyers want the whole workflow, not just the printer. It is a clear signal that the desktop and benchtop SLS market is maturing from print a prototype toward make a shippable product.
Bottom Line
If you are evaluating compact SLS for production rather than prototyping, the BIANCO2-plus-DyeMansion bundle is worth a close look, it removes one of the last reasons to outsource your finishing. Just budget for the Q4 2026 delivery window and the added cost of the VX1 and DM60 on top of the base EUR 47,000 printer.
