Depending on the design, the backs of the electroformed nickel shells are treated mechanically and then fitted into a base frame. The parting lines are then milled mechanically. In this case the thickness of the electroformed tools is approx. 8 - 15 mm.
A more economical solution would be a thinner nickel shell with a thickness of 4 - 6 mm only. A heating system is affixed to the back and the shell fitted into a milled backing. This is followed by backing using a special concrete (Densit). For these tools the parting line is made directly by electroforming.
