In medical instrument and device production, surface finish is a critical factor in safety, functionality, and regulatory compliance. That’s where Vapormatt’s patented wet blasting technology delivers a real advantage.

With unparalled process control and automation, Vapormatt's technology ensures every component is finished to exacting standards — clean, consistent, and contamination-free.

Here’s how our technology makes a difference:

For dental crown manufacturers leveraging metal additive manufacturing technologies like DMLS, achieving repeatable, high-quality surface finishes is essential.

This is where wet blasting offers clear advantages in post-processing cobalt-chrome (Co-Cr) and titanium restorations, particularly for porcelain fused to metal framework (PFM) and full-metal crowns.

Key benefits for crown manufacturers:

Wet blasting (or vapor blasting) is one of the most controllable finishing processes available — enabling precise, repeatable surface finishes for everything from aerospace components to wire and cable products.

One key variable in this process is the choice of abrasive blast media.

Abrasive media are the solid particles responsible for the erosion and abrasion that modifies a surface.

Selecting the right media is important as it has a major impact on final surface finish.

In the automotive refinishing industry, the cleaning and stripping of alloy wheels is a routine task — but not all surface preparation methods are created equally when it comes to operator safety.

Let’s compare wet blasting to traditional finishing processes like dry blasting, chemical stripping, and manual sanding, focusing solely on health and safety:

When a leading composite propeller manufacturer in the aerospace sector came to us, they had a clear challenge: modernise a manual wet blasting process that had been in place for a long time — while improving precision and quality.

Their existing Vapormatt manual machine had delivered decades of service, a testament to its robust build quality, but increasing demands and a growing focus on operational efficiency meant it was time for a new solution.

The goal:

✅Reduce the machine footprint

✅ Replace manual blasting

In orthopaedic manufacturing, achieving precise, consistent, and biocompatible surface finishes is critical — especially for complex medical implants like knee prostheses. While many facilities still rely on mechanical polishing, vibratory finishing, or dry blasting, wet blasting is gaining serious traction. Here’s why:

✅ Superior surface consistency: Wet blasting delivers highly uniform, isotropic finishes with excellent Ra control — essential for both articulating surfaces and porous-coated regions.

In military and defence manufacturing and maintenance, cleaning and finishing processes are mission-critical. The wrong surface treatment can compromise the integrity, fatigue life, or operational safety of high-value components.

One finishing process that's proving indispensable across aerospace, naval, and land systems is wet blasting (or vapor blasting). Here’s why it’s a safer, smarter alternative to traditional cleaning and finishing methods for defence hardware:

The exponential growth of composites across aerospace, automotive, and advanced manufacturing sectors has made one thing clear — precision surface preparation is critical to achieving reliable, high-performance bonds.

At the National Composites Centre (NCC) in Bristol, a facility known for pioneering composite innovation, their Vapormatt wet blasting machine (equivalent of the new Puma XL) plays a vital role in supporting aerospace members in optimising their bonding processes.

Why wet blasting?

In modern cutting tool insert manufacturing, multi-layer coatings — including PVD coatings like TiAlN, AlTiN, CrN and CVD coatings such as TiCN, Al₂O₃, and TiN — play a critical role in tool performance.

But in some production steps, it’s essential to selectively remove specific layers without affecting the underlying coatings or the carbide substrate. This is where wet blasting has become an indispensable process.

Here’s why:
