Plating

What is it?

Plating is the process of forming a metallic coating on the surface of a part.
Using the vacuum evaporation method, we can apply very thin metallic layers of various materials to the part. This precisely copies the surface of the product.

What is it used for?

Plating for additive parts is typically used for design parts where a metallic appearance is required, or to achieve a conductive surface through which electrical charge can be dissipated.
Plating can also increase durability and change the functional characteristics of the final product.

Main advantages

• surface protection against external influences
• electrical surface conductivity
• metallic appearance
