PrintPlating
From 3D print to
Starter kits, conductive paint, chemistry refills, and send-in copper plating for SLA, DLP, and FDM parts.
Printed. Coated. Plated.
One part, three clear stages — from raw print to conductive graphite to real copper.
Cu29 · CuSO₄·5H₂O
Printed → coated → plated
Same part · real finish
One part. Three clear stages.
Move across the panel to tilt the stage.
The process is the product.
Prep the surface, apply conductive graphite, plate in a copper bath, then polish and seal.
Bath setup
The part is wired as the cathode and plated in a copper solution.
Fresh copper
The copper layer builds over the conductive coating before finishing.
Final finish
Polish and seal the copper so the part is ready to show, test, or sell.
Everything you need to start plating.
Start with the kit, restock with paint and chemistry, or use the send-in service for a cleaner finish.
