What is electroforming

Hello Dear Sir,

I want to know what is electro forming and how does it work I'm waiting for you

Electroforming is done the same way as electroplating. The difference is that the substrate or mandrel upon which the plating was deposited is separated from it, and the plating layer itself becomes an object. A common example would be the thin nickel screening used in electric shavers.
