Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
Enchanted Leaves | MicroDean Systems – Cu Electroforming Live Demo
Home: California, United States
Our project will showcase the copper electroformed nature jewelry that we create, along with an interactive live demo that highlights the fascinating process and techniques behind its creation. The demo will feature the functions of our smart MiniForm automatic current/voltage regulating power supply, which is designed specifically for electroforming. It is engineered and fabricated by us, everything from writing the code to hand soldering each one. With it, anyone can capture and preserve the elegance of the natural world in unique copper jewelry and artwork.
