Nickel electrodeposition moulds

I am looking for information concerning the process of electrodeposition of nickel on polyurethane masters and the manufacturing of nickel shell moulds.

I'm a sculptor.

Thanx

Nico:

The process that you are looking for is known as Electroforming. It is used for moulds, stamping tools, screens, etc. In France there must be several companies doing electroforming. If you do not find anyone suitable, you might contact Nickel Development Institute in Toronto,Can.

Good luck.
