Electroforming Technology: Preserving Nature in Metal

▌ 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
