Electroforming, technical details
Below are the general details concerning the electroforming process. If your needs exceed the specifications listed below,  please contact us. We will pleased to assist you in searching for solutions.
The electroforming technology has several advantages over punching, etching, laser-cutting and wire-erosion technology.

         
Materials: Nickel
Material thickness (t) 0.015 - 0.2 mm
Tolerances general ± 0.010 - 0.015 mm, limit ± 0.005 mm
Minimum hole/slot 0.005 mm - t = 0.05 mm, > 0.05 mm = 0.3 t
Minimum bar-width 0.015 mm + 2t, thick resist system 1.5t
Pitch tolerances general ± 0.01 mm x distance, limit ± 0.005 mm x distance
Angular tolerances general ± 30² - 40² of arc, limit ± 20² of arc
Corner radii inner corner (r) = 90° angle, outer corner (r) = t
Post treatments blackened, gold, Ru, Pt, lead-tin plated etc.
