Effects of electroplating on the mechanical properties of stereolithography and laser sintered parts

This paper provides a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the effects of electroplating on polymer parts made by stereolithography and laser sintering. A series of test samples were coated with copper and nickel with varying thickness. Thicker coatings (120μm) were reproduced with a repeatabi...
