While metals and metal alloys have been extremely popular substrates for all sectors of manufacturing, they are not the only type of material that is used. Often times plastics and other non-metallic materials are used to create components of ranging sizes and capabilities. With the rise of and increased accessibility of advanced manufacturing machines such as 3D printers, the need for effective surface finishing for non-metallic components has never been more apparent.
At AOTCO, our plating scientists and engineers have perfected the surface finishing process for plastic and other non-metallic substrates. While electroplating is considered a “metal on metal” process, technological advancements have been made so metal can be deposited onto the surface of non-metallic substrates.
