Secondary Decoration​

INAC provides a variety of decorative processing services for effective presentations and technology PR. Our secondary decoration capabilities transform transparent stereolithography models into visually striking presentation pieces through specialized plating and painting techniques.

Maschera Model: Masking Vapor Deposition
The Maschera model is manufactured using transparent SLA technology with TSR-829 material. Clear coating is applied to masking vapor deposition plating to finish it as a fantastic object. The modeling was implemented with the concept of free internal support materials, allowing complex internal geometries to be preserved and visible through the transparent outer shell with selective plating.

Nautilus Model: Gradient Coloring with Aluminum Evaporation
The Nautilus model combines transparent SLA using TSR-829 materials with aluminum evaporation and colorful gradation paintings. This layered decorative approach creates depth and visual interest, making the model an effective tool for technology PR and presentation of internal mechanisms and structures of newly developed products.

Half-Deposition Plating Innovation
INAC has developed an improved in-house plating system that enables half-deposition plating with extremely thin and uniform film thickness. The half-deposition technique provides two different representations available in a single model by switching a backlight on and off. With lighting off, the plated surface appears opaque and reflective. With lighting on, the thin plating becomes semi-transparent, revealing internal structures and creating a dramatic visual transformation.

Decoration Process Stages
The decoration process progresses through multiple stages. The model begins as a transparent SLA prototype printed in TSR-829 material. Plating is then applied, creating the metallic surface. Finally, painting is added to achieve the desired finish. This multi-layer approach allows for sophisticated visual effects combining transparency, metallics, and color.

Functional Enhancement Options
Helical inserts can be incorporated if necessary, adding functional threading capabilities to decorative models. This allows presentation models to also serve practical assembly or demonstration purposes.

Applications for Presentation and Technology PR
These decorated models serve as effective tools for technology PR and presentation of internal mechanisms and structures of newly developed products. The combination of transparency with selective decoration enables communication of both aesthetic design and technical function in a single presentation piece.
