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
- Saves lists locally so they are there next time
Technical
The app is written in Flutter and runs on mobile, desktop and web. State is handled with Signals, services are registered with get_it, and data is stored locally with Hive.
