Advanced Electroforming
Systems & Services

 

 

Established in 1995, Digital Matrix Corporation provides world-class precision electroforming & plating equipment, systems, specialty electronic components, and development/ consulting services to industry, governments, and universities in 24 countries.

The art and science of applying transitional metals to objects through chemical deposition dates back thousands of years to the metallurgists, artisans and alchemists of ancient civilizations such as those in Egypt and India. Today, state-of-the-art electroforming & plating methods are used to “grow” precisely formed metal components essential to manufacturing optical discs, microchips, holographics, nanotechnology elements, vinyl recordings, fluidics and more.

Media Disc Manufacturing

Vinyl Recordings
The resurgence in demand for vinyl recordings in the music industry has led to a need for increased manufacturing capacity. Creating high-quality records for end-user sale calls for the production of a nickel-plated master disk used to press-out the finished product. Digital Matrix has available state-of-the-art plating systems designed to efficiently produce these “stampers.”

Digital Matrix stand-alone advanced process control system

Digital Matrix’ newly released Advanced Process Control System is an affordable and complete software and processor product for managing multiple electrochemical processes  for operational efficiency, reliability and safety. It is a standard feature with Digital Matrix systems but is available as a stand-alone package for existing tank and power  systems. Please contact us with your inquiry.

MEMS | Microfluidics | Nano Tech

Digital Matrix has long been involved with plating for MEMS, microfluidics and Nano technology, both for industrial and research and development (R&D) applications utilizing both additive (plating) and subtractive (etching) electrochemical processes. Our equipment can be found not only in well-known manufacturing companies, but many of the leading research facilities and universities worldwide.

Fixed and rotational precision plating systems

Prototyping & Production Services

Electroforming Prototyping & Production servicesAdditive manufacturing through electroforming can bring many economic and quality-control benefits to your manufacturing process compared to other production methods such as 3-D printing, chemical etching, laser cutting or stamping. Electroforming provides a high-precision, atom-by-atom deposition to create critical components for state-of-the art equipment used in a wide array of devices for medical, optical, gaming, and many other industry applications.

We recognize that the introduction of in-house additive manufacturing equipment can represent a significant resource commitment, which is why we offer LIGA* prototyping services to help develop proof-of-concept samples, along with strategic planning to maximize your return on investment if you decide to go forward with equipment purchase.  Depending on your requirements, we can also provide actual production runs on an outsource basis. Please contact us to start the conversation!

* LIGA is a German acronym used to refer to the processes of lithography, electroforming, and molding use to create microstructures. 

Specialty Electronics | Software | Consulting

Digital Matrix offers built-to-order application-specific power supplies (rectifiers), as well as high-performance controllers for precise voltage regulation, durability in challenging plating environments, and reliability for all levels of production.

User-friendly touch-panels or remote PC apps provide easy process management through both firmware and customized software for specific application.

The Digital Matrix engineering team has been put to work on diverse projects such environmental control systems for skyscrapers, aviation prototyping, electronic toll collection systems, and much more. Activities can include development of proof-of-concept prototypes, advanced technical research and analysis, and integration of disparate process applications.   Contact us with your inquiry.
