Mark3D often get asked about coating parts, so we set about finding out the best way to do it.<\/p>\n

Electro-plating is available in many different techniques, and each method provides a solution to specific requirement. Some are used for protection against harsh conditions such as salt water or chemicals, some are used for increasing wear resistance of surfaces and some are purely aesthetic, which is the primary requirement in our case.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Don’t want your parts to break? Watch this video.<\/p>\n

If you’ve ever dabbled in 3D printing, you’ve probably heard that the Z axis is weaker compared to the XY plane.<\/p>\n

This can cause parts to break or crack when high pressure or impact is applied.<\/p>\n

And if you’re not prepared for it, it can mess up the day or your plans.<\/p>\n

In this video you will learn how to design your 3D printed parts so that they are strong enough to do the job you want them to do.<\/p>\n

Let us know in the comments if there’s anything you’d like covered or a challenge you’re completing right now!<\/p>\n
