Abstract: The article deals with the possibility of using the technology of electroplating for manufacturing large-size exclusive designer accessories for clothing, haberdashery and footwear. The high technological potential of using low-melting conductive materials, in particular, gallium, for manufacturing galvanoplastic models is shown. The features of creation of models from gallium, formation of galvanoplastic precipitation of copper on their surface, technological methods of gallium removal after copper deposition are experimentally investigated. Technological problems arising at work with gallium are shown, practical recommendations on their leveling are given. The advantage of using conductive materials for making models for electroplating is experimentally proved, as compared to dielectrics requiring graphitization of the surface, the process of electrolysis is considerably reduced, which significantly saves money and resources.
