Would it spoil the end product if you had the sheets of foil plated
before
EDMing the parts? It may then be possible to mount the sheets in
frames that
would be more robust. It may also cost less!


Plating nickel over copper foil causes the output to become hard. I
have a bending process after EDM. If bending is done over plated part,
it breaks.

Sequence is: EDM Bend Ni Plate Gold Plate
