The process of electroforming (metalizing) is similiar to electroplating. The difference in most cases, is that plating is a metallic coating over a metallic item, which becomes part of the item. Electroforming is the process by which a metal is deposited onto a non-conductive or non- metallic surface.
Bronzing of baby shoes is the most common example of this process. Materials such as resin, wood, leather, sea shells, plastic etc. can be treated to produce low adhesion deposits.
Preserve your baby's shoes forever in a lustrous solid metal coating for a lifetime of enduring beauty. Almost anything can be metalized, which make great memorabilia for occasions and serves as medals for outstanding achievements.
