Electroforming is a kind of metal molding technology. After gilding on the possession object(conductivity, nonconductivity) separate it with possession object and produce a part or duplicate. This process has an excellent ability of duplicating detailed figure. To simplify the manufacturing process of a rotary screen, this study was adopted electroforming technology and produced silicon rubber mandrel. Furthermore, to indicate the optimal condition for the acquisition of high-qualified rotary screen product, the experiment was executed with pH, time, sulfamate nickel solution according to density which were the main factors to decide the condition, then compared it with the product made by original "S" company in Holland. As a result, the figure of hole was more obvious and correct. Also the open size increased by more than 2-3%.

Copper electroforming process has been applied to duplicate Koryo Tripitaka (Taejang'kyong), wooden printing block. Thin copper replica printing plates of 1 mm thickness was successfully manufactured from the printing face (54.5${\times}$25.5 cm) of wooden printing plate. Major processes are (1) silicon rubber replication of the master (2) silvering on silicon rubber (3) copper electroforming (4) separation of copper from the silicon mandrel (5) final coloring by brass plating and trimming. This process has various Potential applications in making thin metallic objects such as plaques, statues, bust and hollow metal objects for jewelry.
