Spot Electro-Plating 3D Printing

3D printing with metals using Spot Electro-Plating (SEP). Technology combines fdm and resin 3d printing technologies to electroplate copper and zinc in sulphate water electrolyte bath using a graphite spot electro-plating rod electrode. Generates oxygen and sulfuric acid at the print head electrode, as well as the electro-plated metal. any other suitable similar electro-plating bath chemistry can be used. Assumes electro-plating field is strongest between the graphite electrode rod and the closest spot on the 3d metal print object, constructed layer by layer going up vertically in the electrolyte bath. Spot electro-plating can be also achieved using wire electro-plating of copper/zinc or any other directly electro-plateable metal like silver, in a separate plating electrolyte. Electrolyte can also be applied locally like cnc tool head coolant. for additional accuracy, with a extra vacuum scoop to recover the electrolyte.
