A processing device based on electrochemistry includes a platform, a power supply and at least one modeling mechanism which is arranged under the platform and movable with respect to the platform. The modeling mechanism includes a photoelectric wheel, a light source and a container in which an ionic liquid is stored. The photoelectric wheel is rotatable and partially immersed in the ionic liquid. The photoelectric wheel includes a transparent conductive layer and a photoconductive layer bound together from inside to outside. The transparent conductive layer is electrically connected to an electrode of the power supply, and the platform is electrically connected to the other electrode of the power supply. The light source is arranged inside the photoelectric wheel and emits a light beam to pass through the transparent conductive layer towards the platform to selectively irradiate the photoconductive layer.

In any overhead job, operators will feel more relaxed and safer. In any systems, the operators won't have to spend days for masking and sealing. Simple protection will be enough. With this unit operators can use toxic solutions like cadmium and silver without any health concern, because the anode returns the toxic vapors back to the chamber and filtered suction line in front of the exhaust valve will take the toxic vapor away. Pit filling anode save the workers time and effort drastically by filling the pits bottom up in one shot.

A system is provided for use with a volume of metal particles suspended in electroplating solution. The system includes: a positional tip operable to have a positive electrical bias; a dispenser operable to dispense at least one of the metal particles and the electroplating solution; a metal base depositing system operable to deposit a metal base; a controller operable to control the positional tip to move and to control the dispenser to dispense the at least one of the metal particles and the electroplating solution; and a voltage controller operable to provide the positive electrical bias to the positional tip and to provide a negative electrical bias to the metal base so as to electroplate metal onto the metal base from the particles suspended in the electroplating solution and so as to three-dimensionally print a metal shape.

An electroplating system includes an enclosure with an interior, an anode lead extending through the enclosure and into the interior, and a porous body. The porous body is supported within the interior of the enclosure for coupling an electroplating solution within the interior with a workpiece. A conduit extends through the enclosure and into the interior of the enclosure to provide a flow of nitrogen enriched air to the interior of enclosure for drying and removing oxygen from the electroplating solution.
