Abstract

A method of manufacturing an architectural building element, including providing a mold or master having a surface that is conductive. The mold or master is suspended in an electrolyte solution. Electro-deposition of a material disposed in the electrolyte solution upon the mold or master is performed using electrical current. The mold or master is removed from the electrolyte solution upon electro-deposition of a predetermined thickness of a coating of the material on the mold or master. The coating is then divorced from the mold or master to form an architectural building element.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 845,435, filed on Jul. 12, 2013. The entire disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD[0002]The present disclosure relates to the manufacture of architectural building elements and, more particularly, relates to adapting electroforming techniques for the manufacture of architectural building elements.BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY[0003]This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art. This section also provides a general summary of the disclosure, and is not a comprehensive disclosure of its full scope or all of its features.[0004]Known techniques in the manufacture of metal stock materials used in the construction of static structures (i.e., buildings) are formed using common metalworking techniques on sheet or plate metal to create structural and ornamental elements. These...
