Tabletop Electroplating Machine Hot Item On Kickstarter
The company says that using Orbit1, a person can coat their works in metal, even gold, in three simple steps.
A start-up company is seeking funds through Kickstarter.com for its Orbit1 machine, an electroplater that allows people to plate just about everything made through 3D printing.
The company says that using Orbit1, a person can coat their works in metal, even gold, in three simple steps. First, they clean and polish their object, then they spray the conductive paint, then click start. They say Orbit1 will metallize a design, empowering a person with the Midas touch from your tabletop.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #120: Electrochemical Destruction of Perfluorooctanesulfonate in Electroplating Wastewaters – January – December 2023
This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers quarterly reporting for the year 2023 at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The objective of this work is to utilize a cost-effective reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) for the removal of PFAS from synthetic electroplating wastewater. Discussed here are the oxidation of PFOA with three different catalysts, development of a method for detecting PFAS, as well as work on 6:2-fluorotelomersulfonic acid (6:2 FTS) and electrodeposited bismuth/tin oxide catalysts.
