What problems need to pay attention to plastic prototype plating

This is a'Look at the face' In the era of appearance, the more good-looking, the more able to attract the attention of others, this law is no exception in the prototype industry. There are some plastic prototypes, which are sometimes treated with plating to show the feeling of being tall, so that the surface looks like metal.

Although vacuum plating can be used for plastic prototypes, however, some plastic materials are not suitable for water Plating. For example, PC materials, water plating will be easier to fall off, and the color of water plating will be darker than that of vacuum tube plating. Here is a case of our company:

we have received a project of a PC prototype and the customer asked us to do surface treatment of water plating, although we once explained that the effect of PC water plating was not ideal, the customer insisted on asking us to water plating and it was easy to fall off after the result was made. In fact, if the PC prototype is made of water plating, it is necessary to find a special electroplating factory for PC electroplating process. The electroplating factory of the general ABS electroplating process is difficult to achieve the expected results. In addition, the material mixed by PC and ABS can also be plated, but if the proportion of PC is too large, it is difficult to achieve good results even if it is a special water plating factory.

if your product needs a conductive function, you must choose a water plating. The above is the problem that needs attention when the plastic prototype is plated. The extension model has been engaged in prototype production for 16 years, which can effectively solve the problem of prototype plating, hoping to help you.
