Selective Plating

Lustrous has seen a demand for increasingly fine and precise selective electroplating. Historically, selective plating has been the exclusive province of continuous reel-to-reel plating operations where various mechanical modifications are made to the machine apparatus. These devices typically involve rubber band-like masking that sandwiches the parts in the area where plating is not desired. Lustrous has developed tools and methods for accomplishing selective plating on a variety of parts ranging in many shapes and sizes. There are a variety of materials and fabricating techniques employed that Lustrous has developed through trial and error to arrive at a robust, fast, and flexible system. The basic design elements and materials can be adapted to the particulars of the customer part design. Medical devices are becoming ever smaller and more complex in their shapes and functions
