Schaal Oberflächen & Systeme is leading supplier in surfaces and systems
Structured electroplating and 3D-MID process at Schaal Oberflächen und Systeme

How an object is being felt, which qualities it has – everything depends on its

surface. Schaal Oberflächen & Systeme GmbH & Co. KG is one of the leading suppliers of highly specialised surface finishes and plastic parts. Founded originally as a cellulose company in 1874 and after an extension to electroplating on metals in 1962, the family business has advanced continuously to meet the demands of changing markets. With the know-how of its 250 skilled employees in fields of plastics technology, surface plating, electroplating for metals, finishing and assembly the company is able to provide a wide range of decorative and functional possibilities for coating.

Structured plating on plastics is a new process with big importance at Schaal Oberflächen & Systeme. Exciting, decorative plating of ABS, ABS-Blends, PA6-plastics and metals with unique patterns, textures and symbols for precious high end surfaces are being offered. Furthermore translucent effects like day and night design enlarge to fascinating design opportunities. Customers can provide motives or employees with professional competence will implement the customer´s wishes and imaginations by creating adequate motives.

Those developed surfaces correlate with structure and corrosion reaction of the usual electroplated metal surfaces, however they have a special haptic and an extraordinary look. It is possible to imply a partial laid open plastic underground, especially if it is painted. Countless metal effects, which differ in shininess and colour pigmentation, can be obtained through applicating of diverse effect paints.

MID (Molded Interconnect Devices) is a process of plastics technology which is another important process at Schaal Oberflächen & Systeme. Schaal Oberflächen & Systeme offers 3D MID applications made by means of two different manufacturing processes, which eventually depends on the application. 2-component injection moulding and Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) belong to the manufacturing processes. 2-component injection moulding is a process by which interconnect devices are being molded with two different plastic types. Top quality and excellent component reproducibility is one of many advantages.

Use of the process necessitates a specially designed laser system, as well as functional 3D-MID plastics. Extremely few manufacturing steps are one of many positve aspects.

Schaal Oberflächen & Systeme has the right feeling for people and the demands they place upon it- combined with the knowledge and capabilities required to develop ideal solutions.
