1) Metal forming 
Electroforming is a metal forming process that forms thin parts through electrodeposition. The part is produced by coating a conductive layer of liquid metal skin onto a base form, known as a mandrel, which is removed after forming. The conductive layer reverse-plaques to the face of the master electroform, and the mandrel can be parted without th...
