electroforming

Its applications include gold mining, electroplating, and electroforming of these metals; it is also used in organic synthesis to make nitriles.

Electroplating / Electroforming: A solution containing metal ions loaded with reinforcing particles is co-deposited forming a composite material.

Electroforming, for example, an industrial process that deposits metals on other materials by means of a solution that conducts electricity, is now used in studio settings to produce effects not always achievable by traditional means.

In 1890 they acquired the Kunstanstalt für Galvanoplastik München, which specialized in electrotyping and electroforming of large and small statues for buildings, fountains, tombstones, and gardens; this became the Abteilung für Galvanoplastik (Galvanoplasatic Division) of WMF.
