    CuForming is a project of passion born from our love for both science and crafting.
    Since 2018, we've been exploring the fascinating world of electroforming, where we merge the wonders of electrochemistry with geology, botany, zoology and the artistry of crafting.
    Copper, with its versatility and beauty, is our favorite material to work with, and our designs are inspired by the intricate textures found in nature.
    Through experimentation with chemicals, various materials, and the electroforming process, we create unique pieces that celebrate the intersection of science and art.
    With inherited skills in electrical engineering, painting, sculpting and materials assembly, and the curiosity about new technologies such as 3D printing, CuForming is where science meets creativity.

    I'm a tad confused at what ive done.. soooo I was anodizing parts that's how I have gotten here kinda..... Anyway decided to try electro forming my own 3d prints for the RC parts so I can annodise them or something alike .. I can definitely... Definitely make the solution and I certainly can get it to electroform onto the graphite.. first attempt was a miniature base and it was really rough intentionally.. I wanted to see how hard it was to get the hard areas to coat... It come out bolooosy great and all I did was finger polish it and give it a real quick once over with a micro fiber ..... Now when I anodise I end up with copper spikes all over the aluminum rods...... Today I tried to do a ring.... I cannot get it to stick to save my life and ita bloody shinner then before and the current and voltage even seem to line up better... Haven't checked the resistance but by looks this should have gone waaaaay better I did it to the letter 😅😅

    • @cuforming
      @cuforming  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Copper spikes are related to some contaminant in the electroforming solution, not to the conductive paint... you need to keep your workbenches separated, maybe in different rooms and to avoid other kind of metals near your tank, especially iron and nickel.

    Incredibly useful video! When dipping the part directly into the paint, how thick does it dry up? Does it leave visible drops/clumps?

    • @cuforming
      @cuforming  Před 8 měsíci +3

      Thickness depends on the concentration. To avoid drops or clumps, I just make a centrifugal movement to make all the excess paint detach from the piece. I do that inside the container, so it doesn't go all on my workbench.

    Is the sealant you're using pellets of acrylic (same as plexiglass) dissolved in acetone? If so. That's a pretty genius method to getting a hard and durable coating impregnated eith graphite!
    I have a couple sheets of plexiglass from old displays, and was wondering what I could use the cut offs for, since I'd hate to waste them. Seems like a fantastic use for them! Keep up the good work 🫡👍

    • @cuforming
      @cuforming  Před rokem +2

      Thank you for the appreciation. If the plexiglass dissolves completely in the acetone, that can be done. Some kind of acrylic or polystyrene usually don't get liquid, they only reach a gooy state.

    • @cuforming
      @cuforming  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Fresh strawberries have a lot of water in them which is gonna be trapped inside and get rotten in a week. You could try that, but you need to make a hole in the copper layer and remove flesh and liquids. Maybe after the electroforming process, you can bake the piece at a low temperature to allow it to dry. There is a video of Elementric Artworks which makes a raspberry, and he burns it red-hot with a torch. I wouldn't recommend that because the copper will get annealed and soft, and could get deformed just by pressing it with your fingers.
