What other options exist besides metallizing?
Some epoxies can be used to create conductive paths and/or to generate joints. Keep in mind most epoxies are not quite vacuum tight and can be a source of outgassing. Rather than coating non-conductors such as ceramics another process involves using stick-back metal foil. The foil can be effective for PoC and prototypes but can prove costly in production. INTA only offers the metallizing option, shying away from epoxies or glued metal foils.
