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 ...

3D printing is known for producing parts with a fairly average finish at best. Even the smoothest resin prints are still fairly plasticky and dull in appearance. However, it’s possible to do much ...

We all want to 3D print metals, but the equipment to do that is still beyond most home workshops. However, [HEN3DRIK] takes resin 3D-printed items and electroplates them. Might not be as good as ...

Makers, hobbyists and 3D printing enthusiasts may be interested in a new tutorial published this month on how to electroplate 3D prints with fantastic effect. In the demonstration video below YouTuber ...

Double the ultimate tensile strength of resin prints with electroplating. Vastly improve the stiffness as well! In this video we electroplate SLA samples with Acid Copper and Bright Nickel, then test ...

Submerging 3D printed plastics in silver nitrate is a cheap and easy way to coat plastics in a metallic film. Plastic is the most common material used in 3D printing, but as it’s an insulator, the ...
