Electroforming is an additive manufacturing process specialized for the production of high precision metal parts. Its uniqueness is that you can grow metal parts atom by atom, providing extreme accuracy and high aspect ratios.
Electroforming and 3D Printing are both additive manufacturing processes. Whereas Electroforming builds up precision metal parts atom by atom, 3D Printing works by applying materials in droplets through a small diameter nozzle and “print” layer by layer to build up the product.
Studio Artefact specializes in “themed immersive experiences” uses 3D printing to create awe-inspiring structures and decorations. At present, Studio Artefact operates a fleet of six BigRep large-format 3D printers. The team works mainly with PETG, and has seen its horizons widen exponentially with each additional 3D printer installed. Prior to 3D printing, it would make most of its large structures with styrofoam sculpting, welding, and woodworking technique, which was painstaking and took much longer than 3D printing, placing a limit on productivity and profitability.
