Nickel shims are electroformed to have multiple copies of a structure from a master and are widely used in prototyping and industrial production. The electroforming process transfers the structures very reliably down to the nanometres level. The family of shims can be produced for long term safet
Offering Description
Nickel shims are primarily electroformed to have multiple copies of a structure from a master template and are widely used in prototyping and industrial production. Shims are produced as either thick or fexible molds, and are manufactured by electroforming, a specific electrodeposition process. A common field of use is as inserts for injection molding, or as sleeves for roll-to-roll processes. The micro and nanofabrication of a new original structure can be time-consuming and costly. The goal is to securely transfer structures into nickel shims to guarantee a multitude of usages over time and high-quality molding and replication. The generations and shim family branches are created to sustainably preserve the structure and use it for industrial replication.
