VaporTech’s VT-3000i coating system is designed to deposit materials using physical vapor deposition (PVD) or plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD), as well as coat temperature-sensitive substrates using low-temperature arc vapor deposition technology (LTAVD). These technologies can deposit a range of metallic colors as well as diamond-like carbon (DLC) and functional coatings.

The system features a smaller footprint and updated design than its predecessor, making it easier to integrate into manufacturing facilities. It also is designed to be simpler and easier to install, operate and maintain. According to the company, using this system in house enables manufacturers to save time and money over using a third party to coat parts.
