Abstract:	Electroforming can be defined as an industrial technology for making metal pieces by electrolytic deposition of metallic layers of varying thickness, followed by the removal of the substrate and the exclusive preservation of the newly formed piece. In English, the term ‘electroforming’ is used exclusively, regardless of the technological field, while in German the term ‘galvanoforming’ is mainly utilized. In Romanian, an equivalent term is ‘galvanoplastie’ (galvanoplasty/electrotyping), but its meaning prevalently refers to the obtainment of other pieces, such as working models.The re-launch of gold-based electroforming as a technological procedure, by Rogers and later by Wismann, by developing non-toxic sulfite electrolytes, resulted in its use in fixed prosthodontics, especially in the field of unidental prostheses.
Keywords:	galvanoforming, electroplating, electroforming, electrolyte.
