RFQ: I am interested in buying a gold electro forming machine. I plan to use it to coat jewelry that is made out of copper and silver also. I am also interested in the portable machine that can be carried out and used to plate objects. Where can I purchase such machines? Best regards,

Hi, folks. Hollow gold jewelry is made by starting with a wax mandrel of the desired shape, metallizing it, then gold plating it with sufficient thickness that the item can stand alone, then melting away the wax. Major worldwide suppliers of equipment for making hollow gold jewelry include Technic & Degussa.

Jayan, what distinguishes electroforming from electroplating is that in electroforming the plated layer becomes the object rather than just a topcoat on the object. When you want a portable machine to do field work, you probably will want to look at "brush plating".

We have a number of threads on the site with technical discussions of electroforming. You could search the site or start with topics 4146, 26975 and 45300.

Good luck, all.

Regards,

Ted Mooney, P.E.
