German term

anlegen auf

German to English Science Electrophoresis
"Ein weiteres Verfahren beruht auf der Elektrophorese, bei dem elektrische geladene Pulverpartikel in einer Suspension durch Anlegen einer Anoden-/Kathoden-Anordnung durch das elektrische Feld auf z.B. der Anode abgeschieden werden, die die gewünschte Geometrie aufweist und mit der sich somit eine kontur-identische Form aufbauen lässt."

This is about various dental ceramics. After discussing the main types, they're now talking about new developments and methods. I think I've more or less worked out this complex sentence, but am having trouble understanding "Anlegen ... auf". Have done a little background reading on electrophoresis, but even so, I'm not quite sure how to translate that part. TIA for your help with this.
