  Net Shape Electroforms
   
 

Fabrication of complex geometry, thin wall 3-D metal components by conventional sheet metal work is a costly and time-consuming proposition, typically requiring welding, trimming, laser cutting, and general machining. Through elegant electroforming process design, our engineers can eliminate most of these steps, minimizing secondary machining, increasing component precision and reducing manufacturing costs.

NiCoForm's advanced net shape electroforming approach incorporates all required elements – mounting holes, counter bores, tabs, flanges, etc. into the final manufactured component.

Our Net Shape Process assures:
  • Fast Turnarounds
  • Single piece design
  • Excellent repeatability
  • Tight tolerances
  • Reduced secondary operations such as welding, drilling, counter boring, etc
  • Reduced tooling expenses
  • Homogeneous, high strength alloy, NiColoy®
Electroforming of complex geometry articles offers an efficient manufacturing technique that guarantees tighter tolerances, increased part to part repeatability, faster turnarounds and lower production costs than conventional methods.

E-mail us your drawings or 3-D model (in SolidWorks, IGES and most other mainstream CAD file formats), and we will show you how fast and easy it is to convert a solid model into a net shape NiColoy® electroform.
