Electroplating Calculator
Flutter app that calculates surface area and required current for electroplating bolts, nuts, washers and 3D models from STL files.

- Personal project

When electroplating parts, the right current depends on the part’s surface area. This app makes it easy to calculate – both for standard fasteners and for your own 3D models.
What does it do?
- Pick bolts, nuts and washers in metric sizes and get the surface area calculated automatically
- Combine several parts in a list and see the total current needed
- Load an STL file and calculate the surface area straight from the 3D model
- Switch between metric and imperial units
Technical
The app is written in Flutter and runs on both mobile and desktop. State is handled with Signals, services are registered with get_it, and data is stored locally with Hive.
