CAD Software Evaluates Electroplating Processes

Elsyca NV’s PlatingMaster is a CAD-based simulation software platform for the analysis and optimization of electroplating processes. It predicts current density and deposited layer thickness distributions for both decorative and functional plating applications.

Before the first production run takes place, the software can identify plating problems on a part, predict the consistency between parts on a rack, and enable the user to design the part and tooling configuration (part orientation, rack load, shields, main and conforming anodes, etc.) and optimize process parameters.
