Reverse engineering aids plating
optimisation
The Elsyca PlatingMaster software tool optimises hard chrome electroplating processes, allowing users to achieve more uniform coatings, resulting in less material usage and reduced grinding.
By using the Elsyca PlatingMaster software tool to optimise their hard chrome electroplating processes, customers have been able to achieve more uniform coatings, resulting in less material usage and reduced grinding One customer has completely eradicated any necessary grinding, resulting in a yearly saving of $1 million in tooling alone

Expert software predicts plating performance
Elsyca has incorporated over 20 years of research and consultancy experience into its new software product, Elsyca PlatingMaster.
To first optimise the process, it is necessary to have available the component geometry as an electronic 3D CAD file.
This can be achieved by importing the file into the SolidWorks interface, or the user can build the geometry from drawings.
However, in the refurbishment business it is often the case that, due age, CAD is not available for the component and that the user might not have the necessary skills to build the CAD of a complex 3D component.
In order to address this issue, Rose Consulting Engineers the UK distributor for PlatingMaster has formed a technical partnership with Admeasure Scanning.
Admeasure Scanning provides a reverse engineering service.
Where no 3D CAD exists, an item or assembly can be scanned and then a 3D model produced for import into the Elsyca PlatingMaster software.
In this way, the user can simulate and optimise the electroplating of virtually any component or assembly - no matter what the age.
