DRC / Metrigraphics Division manufactures custom electronic packaging and interconnect components to match your specifications.

DRC has refined the electroforming to its highest level, through a patented process that employs a conductive patterned glass substrate and proprietary plating baths. Superior edge definition, 1 micron features, superior dimensional control, and near "optical" finishes are achievable. Precision metal patterns with cross-section ratios of up to 1:1 and resolutions of above 2 million holes per square inch can be provided.

In the basic electroforming process, an electrolytic bath is used to deposit nickel or other electroplatable metal onto a conductive patterned surface, such as glass or stainless steel. Once the plated material has been built up to the desired thickness, the electroformed part is stripped off the master substrate. This process allows high-quality duplication of the master and therefore permits quality production--at low unit costs with high repeatability and excellent process control.
