Summary
Description Electrotyping.svg |
English:
Schematic apparatus for electrotyping. An electrical current flows from the battery, through the copper
anode
connected to the positive terminal of the battery, through the electrolyte, and into the coated mold (the
cathode
). A copper film (the electrotype) grows onto the electrically conducting coating of the mold.

There is a very thin, electrically-conducting coating on the parts of the mold where the electrotype grows.
