Once your model is printed, it is left as is and won’t coated with a clear PU coating. This means that it is not protected against scratches or oxidation. Lines from the print process will be visible.

Once your model is cast, it’s coated with clear PU to protect it against scratches and oxidation.

Yellow gold plating is applied by using an electroplating process that covers your model with a thin layer of 18K yellow gold. An additional PU coating provides extra protection, giving you a 6-month guarantee on the plating. 

This finish adds 3 days to the standard lead time.

Red gold plating is applied by using an electroplating process that covers your model with a thin layer of 18K red gold. An additional PU coating provides extra protection, giving you a 6-month guarantee on the plating. 

This finish adds 3 days to the standard lead time.

Rhodium plating is applied by using an electroplating process that covers your model with a thin layer of rhodium. It prevents your model from getting scratched or tarnished and has a cold white color tone. 

Typically, rhodium is used for jewelry. It eventually wears off due to skin contact and interaction with natural elements. As a result, rhodium plating must be reapplied, depending on how often a piece of jewelry is worn. Our rhodium plating finish comes with a 6-month guarantee.

Chrome plating is applied by using an electroplating process that covers your model with a thin layer of chromium. First, we apply a very thin layer of copper to your model followed by a layer of nickel, which acts as a base to attach the chromium to. Finally, the chromium layer is added.

The chrome-plated layer has a polished, elegant aesthetic, provides some corrosion resistance and increases the surface hardness of your model. It is a more affordable imitator of chrome. This decorative chrome plating is traditionally used on car parts and tools. Because the base layer of chrome-plated parts contains nickel, we don’t recommend using this finish for jewelry. Some release of nickel might be possible during skin contact.

This finish adds 6 days to the standard lead time.

We offer a black-color plated finish, which is applied by using an electroplating process in combination with a colored PU coating. Your model will first be finished with a very thin layer of palladium and silver. We then add the color by applying a liquid, colored PU coating, which is cured in the oven in the final step. We offer a 6-month guarantee on this colored PU coating.

This finish adds 6 days to the standard production time.
