Electroplating in 3D printing: Sealed with dichtol AM Hydro

Anyone involved in FDM 3D printing knows that printed components are often porous or have an open surface structure.
In electroplating, additively manufactured plastic parts are coated with a layer of metal in an electrochemical process. This not only ensures a high-quality appearance, but also mechanical stability.

This is exactly what content creator Hen3drik does on social media – and very successfully so. In his latest project on YouTube, he prints car badges using the FDM process. In doing so, he repeatedly encounters the same problem: the components are not waterproof. Our solution: dichtol AM Hydro.
In his video, he shows how his prints are waterproof and durable thanks to sealing with our product dichtol AM Hydro. The result speaks for itself.

If you are interested in the electroplating process or would like to see the application of dichtol in detail, we highly recommend this video. We are grateful to be part of this extraordinary project.
