Coat ANYTHING in metal (prototype machine)

Dc sputtering magnetrons are about as close to real magic as you can get. They use a beautiful cloud of plasma to spray metal or inorganic materials at whatever object you want, coating it in that material. As such sputter coaters are at the heart of many of the manufacturing processes that make our modern world what it is. Not the least of which is many of the steps for making every chip in every device you’ve ever used. In the last video we built a prototype sputter coater, but it was never meant as more than that. In this video we go through the upgrades that have been made to the machine and then put it through it’s paces to cover basically everything we could find in various metals and metal oxides. The result is many stunning pieces of intricate metal or metalized objects. If you haven’t seen it yet here’s a link to the last video so you can see exactly how the machine works: Giveaway link: Som
