3D Plating Engineering Software

Stewart Technologies, Inc.D is a new plating engineering tool that utilizes CAD, interactive solids modeling, 3D geometry, and chemical data management to provide complete electroplating cell understanding. This information can then be applied to plating equipment design and optimization, plating deposit uniformity improvement, plating speed increases, plated metal savings, and product quality improvement.

According to the manufacturer, the software can help in the specific design and optimization of parts to be plated, plating racks, anodes, current robbers and shields, and tank configuration. Its chemical manager database enables the creation of "what if" scenarios to determine the effects that different chemistries may have on the same product. Utilizing built-in mesh generating capabilities with boundary element analysis, the user can zero in on specific questionable areas to see predictions in plating deposit thickness, uniformity, and other parameters.
