VaporTech designs, builds, and services thin-film deposition systems that deposit PVD and PE-CVD coatings to improve products around the world.
In our experience, many of our potential clients are surprised at how cost-effective adding PVD finishing to manufacturing operation can be. Once a coating type is selected and part dimensions are known, the throughput and cost per batch can be easily estimated. At VaporTech, we work closely with you to understand your product’s characteristics and what you would like to improve through the application of a PVD or DLC finish.
These finishes are incredibly thin, durable, and are available in a wide range of colors. VaporTech PVD systems are designed to deposit extremely durable metallic or diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings on a broad range of consumer and industrial parts. Dlc Coating Cost What types of parts can I coat? System maintenance is straightforward and includes only periodic maintenance and cleaning performed by your staff, with more significant maintenance activity with our experts is only required annually. All VaporTech systems use a cylindrical source with a high utilization system, which minimizes wasted material and lowers cost. The coating source material is usually the highest cost consumable. In many applications, the source material may last for months before the need for replacement. The source material is often a metal such as zirconium, chromium or titanium. The costs of operating a PVD coating system include the coating source material, electricity, common gases (such as nitrogen and argon), and periodic maintenance. For decorative PVD applications on consumer products, this means coating costs can often be measured in cents, not dollars. Depending on the part dimensions, our larger coating systems, such as the new VT-3000i™, can coat hundreds of parts in one batch. VaporTech® manufactures PVD batch coating systems that are capable of quickly coating both small or large volumes of parts. While having a small volume of parts coated by a coating service vendor can be expensive, coating cost per part can drop drastically when you purchase PVD equipment and bring the process in-house. A common misconception with a physical vapor deposition (PVD) finish is that PVD coating costs are high and will add substantial cost to a manufactured part.
