PlateLab

Open PlateLab for guided plating or jump directly into its calculators, DIY bath recipes, surface-preparation guide, acid dip guide, and troubleshooting library.

Follow an 18-step plating workflow with material-specific surface preparation, timed acid activation, bath setup, preflight connection checks, plating timers, final rinsing, drying, and post-treatment.

Calculate current, time, thickness, and bath efficiency; scale DIY copper, nickel, and zinc bath recipes; and use built-in acid-dip and troubleshooting guides when the process needs attention.

PlateLab keeps the important process inputs visible: plating metal, bath type, surface area, target thickness, current, time, efficiency, measured thickness, and measured mass. This makes it easier to understand how a result was reached and what should be checked before using the result in a real bath.

The app is intended for careful workshop use, small experiments, and repeatable documentation. It helps compare expected values with measured results, but it does not replace material safety data sheets, proper ventilation, protective equipment, local chemical rules, or professional process validation.

Download clear PDF process reports and keep calculations, guided plating runs, bath recipes, notes, and results connected to your Attalos account.

Electroplating results depend on preparation, bath condition, geometry, temperature, agitation, current density, and measurement accuracy. Saved records make it easier to compare runs, repeat successful settings, and notice when a bath begins to drift outside the expected efficiency range.
