Every second you shave off cycle time goes straight to your bottom line. Think about it. You're running a part with a 45-second cycle. Cut that to 40 seconds and you've increased throughput by 11%. That's 11% more parts per shift, 11% better machine utilization, 11% lower cost per part. Over a production run of a million parts, those five seconds add up fast.
I've seen it a hundred times. An engineer designs this brilliant part—sleek, functional, elegant. Then they send it to the molding shop and reality hits. "Yeah, we can't actually make that." Or worse: "We can make it, but it'll cost three times what you budgeted and take twice as long."
Here's a conversation that happens way too often: Engineer designs a part in California. Specs a plastic that works great in their 72-degree lab. Ships it to Michigan for production. Six months later, parts are failing in the field because nobody considered what happens when that plastic sees actual Michigan weather.
You pull a part from the mold and it looks perfect. Dimensions check out, surface finish is clean, everything's great. Then you come back an hour later and the damn thing's twisted like a potato chip.
Look, if you're running injection molding operations in Michigan, you've probably stared at a reject bin full of parts and thought, "What the hell happened here?"

FAQs About Plastic Electroplating Services

When searching for a plastic molding company with finishing capabilities, businesses want durable, attractive, and cost-effective solutions. At Ronningen R&D, our role as injection molding contractors extends to advanced finishing like electroplating, giving clients a complete solution under one roof.

Here are answers to common questions about our plastic electroplating service:

What is plastic electroplating?

 Plastic electroplating is a finishing process where a thin metal layer (such as chrome, nickel, or copper) is deposited onto molded plastic parts. This enhances durability, conductivity, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics, making it popular across industries.

 Electroplating improves wear resistance, adds decorative appeal, enhances conductivity, and protects against corrosion. It allows plastic parts to maintain a lightweight profile while gaining the advantages of metal finishes.

 Industries such as automotive, aerospace, telecommunications, electronics, consumer goods, and medical rely on electroplating for both functional and decorative purposes. Ronningen R&D provides tailored solutions for each sector.

 Not all plastics can be directly electroplated. Engineering-grade plastics such as ABS, polycarbonate, and blends are most commonly used. At Ronningen R&D, we guide clients in selecting materials best suited for plating.

 We provide end-to-end solutions, from molding to plating, ensuring consistent quality and durability. With decades of expertise and advanced processes, Ronningen R&D is trusted for both decorative and functional electroplating projects.
