Expanded CNC Machining Capabilities Let Product
Developers and Production Buyers Get Custom Plated Parts in as Fast
as 4 days
Digital manufacturing leader Protolabs (NYSE: PRLB) has again
expanded its CNC machining capabilities to allow for accelerated
anodizing and chromate plating on aluminum components. From time of
quote to manufacturing to shipping, customers can now get custom
machined parts with plating in as fast as four days.
“While traditional finishing processes like anodizing have been
around for a while, never have manufacturers been able to
consistently produce parts as fast at scale as we have at
Protolabs,” said Greg Thompson, global product director of CNC
machining. “An engineer can have fully anodized or plated parts on
their desk within a few days of placing an order.”
Anodizing and plating help prevent corrosion, strengthen parts,
and improve cosmetic appearance. All plating options for machining
are now live and available to customers when they upload a 3D CAD
model at protolabs.com.
Eligible materials include aluminum 6061/6082 and 7075. For
anodizing, three specific types are offered: Type II (Class 1,
Class 2) and hard-coat Type III (Class 1); for chromate plating,
Type II is available.
The addition of quick-turn plating builds on the digital
manufacturer’s current options for CNC machining, which include
advanced anodizing and chromate plating capabilities with flexible
lead times. Customers with AS9100 and ITAR needs can access
Protolabs’ precision machining capabilities and those with more
complex, high-requirement parts can tap into the company’s digital
network of manufacturers at Hubs.
“We’ve promised our customers more capabilities across all our
service lines this year, and our machining service is leading the
way. Through our unique manufacturing model that pairs a network of
global manufacturers with our digital factories, we can
comprehensively serve the prototyping and production needs of our
customers,” explained President and CEO of Protolabs, Rob
Bodor.
