• Polished gold steel consists of about 60% steel and 40% bronze. It is watertight and heat resistant to 1528F.

• Polished gold steel models are printed by layering liquid binder onto a stainless steel powder base. The glue is deposited onto the stainless steel powder one layer at a time. Once the layering is completed, the models undergo an infusion process wherein bronze replaces the liquid glue. The end product is completely metal. If the model has a specified finish, it is electroplated and then covered with sealant. Polished gold steel products have a .1 micron layer finish that is deposited via an electroplating process. The completely metal and gold plated polished gold steel product is then shipped to the buyer.
