Hi,
I want to coat my 3D printed samples with chromium or nickel for reducing ESD. The substrate material is grey resin. Is it possible?
Any company in US doing that you know of?
Any leads will be helpful!
Thanks!
You can electroplate any hard plastic with a thin layer of metal. There is only one condition: the surface must be very smooth. This is not the case with unprocessed 3D products.
Electroless nickel plating on dielectrics is often easier to implement than electroplating. There is plenty of literature - see for example
Electroless nickel, alloy, composite and nano coatings - A critical review Sudagar, J., Lian, J., & Sha, W. (2013). Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 571, 183–204. DOI: 10.1016/j.jallcom.2013.03.107
There are also many commercial suppliers for electroless nickel plating services; some of these may agree to plate a test piece for you.
