Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0161079A1] The object of the invention is to provide a process for electroplating a work piece (1) which is coated with an electrically conducting or modified polymer, wherein, independently of the work piece to be electroplated, it is possible to simultaneously reduce the current density and shorten the electroplating time. The invention includes, as a first step, that the work piece is connected to a current source (8) by multiple adjoining contact elements (5) and covered with a thin metallic coat, except at the points covered by the contact elements and that subsequently, in a second step, the contact elements are removed and an unbroken metal coat (10) is formed.
