3D printing may get a lot of press, but in reality it is just one of about half a dozen well-established additive manufacturing processes that have existed for decades and in the case of electroforming, centuries.
With it's ability to handle difficult "micro" designs at relatively low costs, electroforming is a smart business decision.

Additive processes are the hottest topics in manufacturing these days. The ability to "grow" metal and plastic parts, essentially a molecule at a time, is going to change the way a lot of things are made and vastly increase the kinds of things that can be made. It really is a very exciting development.

The hot topic in manufacturing these days is additive processes such as “3D printing,” which embodies a half dozen different methods for creating precision parts essentially a molecule at a time. However, there is an additive manufacturing process that has been in use since the middle of the 19th century.
Electroforming creates metal parts by depositing metals, typically nickel, but also copper, silver or gold, onto an electrically conductive pattern or mandrel. E-forming is used to produce flat as well as dimensional parts up to about 250 microns (.010”) thick,
