Information profile @ a Glance
- Electroforming is a process of converting holographic
image (relief) from photo-resist or plastic to metal (nickel).
- Electroforming is a space age technology used effectively
to produce shapes and accuracies in metal products unmatched
by any other fabrication method.
- Electrochemistry, and additives in plating baths, permit close
control
of electroformed parts. Results are now as reproducible as those
obtained with welding, casting, forging, and other conventional
techniques.
- Electroforming is ideal for applications where stamping,
photochemical etching and laser cutting simply cannot achieve tight
tolerances or complex / specific hole shapes.
- The metals that can be electroformed successfully are copper,
nickel, iron or silver, thickness up to 16 mm, dimensional tolerances up
to 1 μm, and surface finishes of 0.05 μm Ra. The ability to manufacture
complex parts to close tolerances and cost effectively has meant that
electroforming has applications both in traditional/macro manufacturing
and new micromanufacturing fields. These include tooling; mould making;
fabrication of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and the combination
of lithography, electroforming and plastic moulding in the LIGA process.
Applications in micro-optics and medicine are included
- The most important thing one should remember about electroforming—it
replicates minute detail. In comparison with other methods of making
numismatic items: foundry casting reproduces detail down to 1/100 of an
inch, die striking reproduces detail down to 1/1000th of an inch, but
electroforming reproduces detail down to the width of an atom!
- Probably the biggest
money maker is by electroforming items from nature. Electroforming is
the plating of non-metallic. Leaves and sea shells electroformed in gold
and silver The nice part about making jewelry by electroforming is the
low cost and the availability of free items from nature. Some of these
items include acorns, sea horses, sea shells, sand dollars, flowers,
parsley, lettuce and many other
beautiful items from
nature.
