It can build up mold inserts rapidly and the surface replication accuracy is superior. However, the properties of the electroformed shell strongly influence the molding product properties in the manufacturing process. In this study, the properties of the electroformed nickel shell are investigated under different manufacturing parameters by Taguchi experimental method. Temperature, current density and flow rate are chosen as the factors to find the correlation to the properties such as elastic modulus, heat conduction coefficient, micro-hardness and deposited thickness. Results show that the current density has the strongest influence to the electroforming shell properties. Keywords: Rapid Tooling, Elect
