What is prototype plating

In the process of prototype production, the surface treatment process of electroplating is often mentioned, perhaps for insiders who have been engaged in the prototype industry for many years, it's no stranger at all, but for friends who have never touched the prototype, without professional commentary, they don't know what the craft is. Now the extension model will explain to you what is the plating of the prototype?

electroplating is the process of plating a thin layer of other metals or alloys on some metal surfaces using the principle of electrolysis, it is a process that uses electrolysis to attach a layer of metal film to the surface of metal or other material parts to prevent metal oxidation (Such as corrosion)And enhance the role of beauty. Many plastic prototypes, in order to make its surface look like metal, need to be plated with a layer of metal on the surface, this process is called electroplating.

although both the plastic prototype and the metal prototype can have an electroplating process, due to the different properties between them, so there is still a difference in electroplating. The adsorption force of the plastic prototype is better, and it can be directly plated on the surface. If the metal prototype is directly plated, it will easily fall off, so the general metal prototype will spray a primer before plating, in this way, the effect of electroplating is better and the duration is longer. The following figure shows some samples plated by our company:

above is the relevant knowledge of prototype plating, hope to help you.
