Everyone who knows about prototype should also know the Electroplating is one of the more commonly used post processing, the main refer to Galvanic plating and vacuum plating, the vacuum plating including  vacuum evaporation, sputtering and ion plating.

How does the prototype manufacturer do the  galvanic plating? Galvanic plating is electrochemical reaction, while vacuum plating is physical. If it is plastic parts to Galvanic plating, the requirement is to plating grade ABS material. In the case of ABS+PC mixture, PC composition cannot exceed 15%, while vacuum plating does not have this limitation. Galvanic plating serious pollution to the environment, so the Galvanic plating factory to move away from the city.

Vacuum plating is refer to conductive and non-conductive, so this is good for ESD,Radio frequency requirements of the product, the vacuum plating can be translucent, such as mobile phone lamp, vacuum plating can also do seven colors. Experienced prototype manufacturers will spray on a layer of primary when doing electroplating, which will form a smooth surface and eliminate the bubbles or blisters existing in the plastic itself, so that the effect of electroplating can be displayed.

You should find a experience manufacturer If you want to do the prefect post-processing for prototype. duo chuang prototype has 17 years of experience in rapid prototyping customization, which can make your prototype pretty appearance, so as to obtain orders form the exhibition.
