Finishing Choices

Electroforming is the metal forming process where metal is grown by electrodeposition onto a substrate. The electrolytic bath is used to deposit metal (for example nickel, gold or copper) onto a conductive patterned surface. We can use the electroforming technique for plating onto metallic and non-metallic objects In Electroforming we apply a much thicker layer. This layer can be as thick as 1 or 2 mm and is strong in itself, ie. It no longer requires the original piece (mould or mandrel) for strength.
