D2 Inline Solutions - Revolution-3D

Revolution-3D

Are you looking for new and innovative ways to produce

decorative caps and closures? Consider an inline metallizing and coating system. Imagine cutting costs, boosting

product production and improving quality with one machine. D2 has worked hard to create a no batch process for metallizing plastic parts. It is a revolutionary way to manufacture decorative products. Our machine takes up less space, can be operated with fewer employees and offers virtually no wasted product. We believe our inline system will boost your overall bottom line. To find out how our inline system can make a difference in your business, please give us a call.

Benefits of In-Line Processing
Sputtering process	Evaporation process	Sputtering provides improved coating quality over evaporation-based processes.
Fast deposition rate	Slow deposition rate	High rate sputtering processes are less susceptible to contamination.
Short vulnerability window	Long vulnerability window	Part exposure time during the vulnerability window can be 200 times greater in a typical batch process than with the Revolution-3D.
Small batch, rapid cycle	Large batch, slow cycle.	The metallizing portion of the vulnerability window should be as short as possible.
Inline processing	Batch processing	Part storage between processes substantially increases the part vulnerability window.
Automated handling.	Manual handling	Manual handling of parts at any time presents the possibility of operator induced contamination from particulate contamination or by accidental mishandling.
Minimum tooling required	Large tooling quantities needed	In-line systems have fewest parts in-process.
Small footprint	Large footprint	As an integrated component in a conventional coating line, the Revolution-3D takes a minimum of facility space.
Target life - 2 weeks.	Target life - 2 machine cycle.	Lower maintenance effort required.
Broader material capability	Limited to elemental metals.	The ability to sputter alloys offers varied coating material options.
