Elsyca’s electrochemical intelligence serves a wide variety of companies. Elsyca helps to improve process performance while reducing costs, as a result of a powerful combination of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) expertise and computational modeling technology.
Design for plateability of a grille
Looking to identify potential plating issues upfront of production? Design for plateability is Elsyca's extension to the Design for Manufacture (DFM) philosophy. It is an early stage analysis to evaluate the 'manufacturability' of a specific part design in relation to the electroplating process.

Reducing costs and lead time for electroplating landing gear components
The task for the project was to closely examine all of the processing steps, accounting for design, test and build of tooling systems and all labour required for manipulation and masking of components.

Optimization of the decorative Cr plating process for a rack of plastic parts
Trial-and-error based rack and tank design significantly slows down time-to-market. These “wet runs” also involve important labour, rack, and part costs and the final yield often does not exceed 80 percent. Hence the need for faster and more accurate process engineering is a reality.

Definition of the nickel electroforming process for plastic fabrication
In extreme contrast to the many hundreds of hours that calculation and preparation normally take to manufacture a mould, defining the optimal anode and shield configuration using Elsyca’s advanced engineering services takes a very short time.

Dedicated tooling for enabling flash chrome plating of a valve component
Landing gear components are nickel and hard chrome plated to provide long-term resistance to wear and corrosion. It is well known that flash Cr plating processes produce non-uniform deposit thickness distributions. Recessed areas will not plate up to specifications even for drastically enlarged plating times.
