The process is now widely
used in the manufacture of high precision components for electronics, defence and bio-medical equipment, as well as, in the
manufacture of production tooling used to make both industrial and decorative components.
Copper has a wide range
of applications, which include spark erosion tools, moulds, industrial gloves, mandrels and again numerous electronic and
aerospace components.
Silver electroforming is
widely used by silvermiths across Europe and the USA in the manufacture of complex silverware. It is the only technique
that can accurately replicate simultaneously, engraving and chasing.
It is also used industrially
for its exceptional thermal and electrical conductivity. BJS is the largest global supplier of silver electroforms
for thermal control market particularly in the bio-engineering field.
Gold electroforms produced
are used in the medical field including prosthesis and for scientific and instrumentation applications, as well as, for the
manufacture of fine gold objet d'art.
Electroforming costs are
based on surface area and the thickness of the required deposit.
