  <description><![CDATA[My customers constantly are requesting a finish that looks more like stainless steel.  What is the timeline for offering a nickel plated option.  This would be an ideal &quot;standard&quot; finish for stainless steel.<br />

  <description><![CDATA[This brings up an interesting point-- is it possible to have a stainless model plated in chrome or nickel at a local auto plating shop?   I've seen some nice nickel jobs on intake manifolds that would look great over a 3D printed model, but I don't know if the resultant piece can be subjected to the process given that the stainless isn't just cast but is formed with brass &amp; whatnot...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The quick answer to after market, chrome or nickel plating on the SW SS media is yes , this can be done.  expect that the plater might need to tweak the process a bit, but it will work.  The &quot;electroless&quot; plating process works best on irregular or convoluted surfaces as standard electro plating process will have trouble getting into tight crevices or parts with a lot of internal cavities and surfaces, like some of Bathsheba's math models.<br />
Chrome plate  typically  begins with a pure copper layer, followed by the chrome.  I'd suggest you read up on the technical aspects of plating processes before finding an outside shop to do this work.<br />
