Abstract

In a process for galvanically forming structured plate-like bodies, wherein a layer of a plastic material is structured at one side and structure bodies with plane front surfaces are formed thereon so as to rise from a contiguous electrically conductive base, the front surfaces of the structure bodies are provided with isolated spangles of electrically conductive material which are electrically insulated from each other and sized and spaced such that a line across a front surface intersects at least one of the spangles and the structure base--used as a cathode--and the structured bodies are then galvanically covered with a metal to form the structured plate on the layer of plastic material.
