Spa Plating’s compact beaker-based electroforming kit will deposit substantial layers of bright, smooth copper on a wide variety of non-conductive surfaces with minimal post electroforming polishing required.

Clean Process Control
This kit includes 500ml of our CopperPro Electroforming Solution which operates with our bagged platinum rod electrodes for beaker plating  These greatly reduce the chance of any particulate contamination.

Calibrated & Predictable

CopperPro works directly with the CopperPro Electroforming Calculator.

Simply enter the required copper thickness, the surface area of your workpiece and the beaker volume. The calculator immediately provides the correct operating current, plating time and additive additions — dramatically reducing trial and error.

Applications

CopperPro allows you to build fine-grained, durable copper deposits suitable for jewellery electroforming, mould making, sculpture, prototyping and technical components.

The MultiPlater – our in-house designed and manufactured power supply

We have designed our MultiPlater to work seamlessly with our bench top beaker plating system.

Its unique features include

  • a clear and easily adjusted LCD display
  • easy switching between pen, brush and tank plating mode
  • very compact and lightweight

This kit will enable you to deposit substantial, glossy deposits of copper on a wide range of non-conductive and conductive surfaces.

These smooth deposits are achievable because of our CopperPro Electroforming Solution working in tandem with our bagged platinum rod electrodes for beaker plating

This shot shows a selection of some of the surfaces you can use this kit to plate on. From left to right; a 3D printed leaf, a limestone fossil, a brass radiator key, acorn cups (wood) and a resin amulet.

You can control the thickness of your deposit of electroformed copper by using our online CopperPro Electroforming Calculator.

 

This shows a resin amulet that we electrformed with our CopperPro Electroforming Solution. Our unique power source, the MultiPlater, takes up very little room on your bench top. It is easy to use and is very flexible.

This 3D printed wave guide has been copper electroformed with our CopperPro Electroforming Solution. To make the surface conductive we first sealed it with our Dipping Lacquer and then we sprayed it with our Conductive Paint Airbrush Version

Please see a video of this process under the ‘Video’ tab on this product page.

After striking zinc and zincated aluminium parts with our Alkaline Copper Tank Plating Solution, or  our Alkaline Copper Brush Plating Solution, we recommend a build of to 10 microns with CopperPro Electroforming Solution to protect from corrosion if the part is going to be used outdoors.

Also, as the solution is used, its acidity increases, you may wish to consider the use of Copper Tank pH Stabiliser to control its acidity especially when plating zinc and zincated aluminium (please refer to Tech Specs for more info).
