Conductive filament exists, but it takes more than that to 3D print something like a circuit board. The main issue is that traces made from conductive filament are basically resistors; they don’t act ...

[A_Steingrube] has posted a guide to his favorite method of copper electroplating. Plating copper onto other metals is popular with the steampunk crowd, but it does have other uses. Copper plate is ...

New method avoids the black core phenomenon in carbon fiber electroplating while evading the usual safety and environmental ...

LumiShield Chief Technology Officer Hunaid Nulwala (L) and LumiShield CEO Dave Luebke are hoping to scale up their technology from their Robinson Township lab. Nearly every piece of exposed metal in a ...

In the latest of James Mods series - James shows you how to electroplate at home - it's not really all that difficult, if you ...

A range of production processes frequently employ acid mixtures comprised of two or three acids; for example, nitric acids, sulfuric acids and hydrochloric acids. In order to use these acids safely ...

How do you make old rusty hardware like new again without having to visit a plating shop or buy new fasteners? This process can be performed at home with Eastwood's Tin-Zinc Electroplating System. It ...

Since the end of the Second World War the use of plastics has increased remarkably due to a systematic exploitation of their principal advantages, i.e. lightness, flexibility and toughness, ease of ...

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 ...

The process that makes gold-plated jewelry or chrome car accents is now making powerful lithium-ion batteries. Researchers have developed a method for electroplating lithium-ion battery cathodes, ...
