Profile: Galvanoform mbH is a manufacturer of nickel tools for plastic parts. Our IMG tool is inevitable during normal vacuum molding, the negative vacuum molding process offers an alternative solution by using porous nickel tools with surface textures. These grant an optimum reproduction of the textures. Our IMG tool is inevitable during normal vacuum molding, the negative vacuum molding process offers an alternative solution by using porous nickel tools with surface textures. These grant an optimum reproduction of the textures. Our 3-6mm thick porous nickel shell is produced using a patented process. This nickel shell is then finished to a production tool suitable for heating and vacuum molding. We also carry out electroforming. The electroforming is also particularly suited for manufacturing high precision small parts.
