 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.   In the last video we built a prototype sputter coater, but it was never meant as more than that.

Coat ANYTHING in METAL - Part 2 Advanced Magnetron Sputerring

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.

I've planned to replicate this. I found wonderful thick walled chambers from ikea for about 3€ a piece much larger than yours. I wanted to use the lids that come with them because of the wonderful silicone gaskets they have and they are strong enough for vacuum but not temperature resistent... i also machined power feed throughs out of m10 bolts which make a really good seal. Projects like this really consume alot of time and money

thethoughtemporium

Can confirm, lots of time and money. That's why this video took so long to come out. Took a bit to get it going, but once it was working it's hard not to coat anything you can get your hands on just for fun. And once you get into patterning things get really fun. Every surface at the lab is covered in metalized vinyl XD

Leon Schutte

XD i thought about depositing a metallic layer on pp foil to make metallised film capacitors. Thats just one of the many things i have planned

Jeremy Anglin

Do you think it would it be dangerous/possible to coat certain foods in gold using this method? for example insects after being cooked.

thethoughtemporium

That's a really specific use case. I can't see why it would be dangerous, but I also don't see why you'd do that. Gold leaf would do the same job and probably far better
