▌ How Electroforming Works
① Mold Preparation
Conductive treatment for organic materials (leaves, lace) in specialized electrolyte solution
② Current Deposition
0.1-0.3A current drives copper ion deposition at 0.1mm/hour rate
③ Post-processing
12-48 hour metal growth followed by surface refinement
▌ Why Designers Choose Electroforming
