Electroforming

Electroforming in the world of high-precision manufacturing

Electroplating: an additive manufacturing process

Electroforming is a highly precise manufacturing process, also known as electroplating. It is based on the deposition of metal (nickel) onto a conductive substrate. In this process, two electrodes (anode and cathode) are placed in a bath filled with electrolytes. The bath contains a solution of metal salts as well as a direct current source. While the material at the anode dissolves, the cathode builds up and forms the material. This means that the metallic ions are converted into atoms that build up on the cathode surface through continuous deposition. This allows the material to be isolated with microscopic accuracy.
