Benefits of the Tin Electroplating Process

Tin is a silver-white metal that can be deposited onto both ferrous and nonferrous surfaces. Tin can also be co-deposited with bismuth or lead to alter the composition of the metal, increasing its beneficial properties. Multiple industries utilize tin electroplating for its desirable properties like high ductility and high solderability.

How Electroplating On 3D Parts Add Strength to Your Products

Since its initial development in the 1980s, 3D printing has been gaining momentum in the manufacturing industry. Instead of subtracting from a block of raw material or injecting into a mold, a part is created by building the structure layer by layer using a computer file as the “recipe” and raw material typically in the form of a powder, resin, or synthetic filament.
