We vacuum metallize stereolithography parts for automotive and lighting
applications. It's best to use a cold process to keep from warping the
parts. We've been pretty successful with this application and there are are
also other vendors performing this service around the United States. In
addition, our Japan division does some of the best metallizing work on
stereolithography that I've ever seen. They have access to chemicals not
allowed in the U.S.
If you have any specific questions, or need further information, let me know.
