In a world that runs on integrated circuits, metal plating has assumed a key role in the manufacturing industries. Armed with state-of-the-art plating technology and a can-do attitude, a little ...

For the few double-sided PCBs we’ve actually etched at home we simply soldered a piece of wire to either side of a via and clipped off the excess. But if you want to go the extra mile you can’t beat ...

While researching copper plating graphite for a project, [Dave] stumbled upon a blog post illustrating a brilliant approach to metal plating 3D printed parts. Our pioneers in this new technique are ...

Due to its good conductivity and resistance to oxidation, gold is the metal of choice for plated surfaces in connectors. However, the combination of rising gold prices and environmental concerns is ...

Applications for 3D printing are growing at dizzying speed. One new strategy, however, stands out because it marries plastics, 3D printing and electroplating to easily create a complex research ...
