Technology & Products
Key Products
Electroplating of 3D printed plastics; Nickel and copper plating services; Electroforming; Plating on non-conductive materials; Custom metal-plastic composite solutions
Technological Advantage
Proprietary electroplating techniques for 3D printed plastics, ISO 9001/AS9100D certified (since January 2021), and one of North America's largest nickel plating lines for additive manufacturing.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables 3D printed plastic parts to achieve metal-like properties (strength, conductivity, EMI shielding, wear resistance) without tooling, reducing lead times and costs for functional prototypes and end-use parts.
How They Differentiate
Focuses exclusively on electroplating for 3D printed plastics vs. broader post-processing competitors; offers nickel and copper plating for enhanced conductivity and strength, with ISO/AS9100 certification for aerospace/defense applications.
