Painting Metallising Metal-Plating Chrome Plating and Sanding

Tecnologia & Design can complete its prototypes and productions with a wide range of aesthetic surface treatments and finishes, mainly to address the needs of business presentations and marketing, aesthetic tests and trade fair exhibitions.

Surface treatments and finishes

Tecnologia & Design can complete its prototypes and productions with a wide range of aesthetic surface treatments and finishes, mainly to address the needs of business presentations and marketing, aesthetic tests and trade fair exhibitions.

Customised paints, wooden and carbon coatings, metal-plating, tecno metal, sanding, chrome plating, metallising, clear and opaque effects, films and special applications are only a few examples of the surface treatments and finishes that we can provide.

Thanks to the availability of all technologies in our workshops and to the considerable experience of our staff, today we at Tecnologia & Design can truly support our customers from the conception, that is the design, to the finishing of an object, saving them the effort of looking for different suppliers.

PAINTING

After the manual finish, prototypes, whether plastic, metal or made of composite materials, can be finished by classic painting.

METALLISING

The metallising process makes plastic prototypes look like metal. The process consists of the deposition of a layer of aluminium powder under high vacuum conditions on plastic details, and provides optimal aesthetic results. This technology is used quite frequently for the production of prototypes of driving lamps, grids and other automotive details.

METAL PLATING

Metal plating is a finish that confers to a plastic object (prototype/production piece) the aspect of a metal, in looks and feel. Besides the aesthetic change, the piece’s mechanical, chemical and electric characteristics also change drastically.

CHROME PLATING

Chrome plating is a treatment whereby metal pieces are coated with a layer of nickel and chromium. This technique is applied mainly to metals, for aesthetic purposes and also to increase the strength of the object by preventing corrosion.  The chrome plating process entails the polishing of the surfaces to be treated and the submersion of the piece in a sequence of chromium baths.
