PVD PALM will extend the capabilities of Polymer Additive Layer Manufacturing (P-ALM, more widely known as 3D Printing) by developing expertise and know how on the application of Thin Film coatings to their surfaces. Thin Film coatings applied by Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) are applied in vacuum processes, transporting materials at the atomic rate to the surface of a component with thicknesses less than 1 micron.The application of PVD coatings in this way can provide layers of Oxides, Carbides, Nitrides and metals to a surface to increase durability, provide optical improvements or electrical properties and are essential in most machined and cast materials used in challenging environments.PVD PALM will develop the understanding and processes required of the wide range of P-ALM processes from photoresins to FDM and stereolithography techniques and the wide array of materials such as Nylon, ABS, PP and PEAK to establish Light Coatings Ltd as a leading partner for coating services on P-ALM components and a chosen R&D partner for new product development in this area.

PVD PALM将通过开发薄膜涂层应用于其表面的专业知识和知识来扩展聚合物增材层制造（P-ALM，更广泛地称为3D打印）的能力。通过物理气相沉积（PVD）应用的薄膜涂层在真空工艺中应用，以原子速率将材料输送到厚度小于1微米的部件表面。以这种方式应用PVD涂层可以在表面提供氧化物、碳化物、氮化物和金属层，以提高耐用性，提供光学改进或电气性能，是在具有挑战性的环境中使用的大多数机加工和铸造材料所必需的。PVD PALM将发展广泛的P-从光敏树脂到FDM和光固化技术，以及尼龙、ABS、PP和PEAK等各种材料，ALM的工艺使Light Coatings Ltd成为P-ALM组件涂层服务的领先合作伙伴，并成为该领域新产品开发的首选研发合作伙伴。
