Electroforming enables you to completely transform non-conductive items, allowing you to work on an almost limitless range of items that are not usually suitable for electroplating.

Plating on plastics is easy when using a kit from G.S.P Prodigy Range with Mirror-Tech System™. Our kits are also popular amongst creatives such as artists, sculptors, and designers making use of 3D print technology for prototyping. With the recent trend for copper electroformed jewellery, we have also helped jewellery makers to bring to life unique and bespoke pieces, crafted from a wide selection of organic and unusual materials and objects.
