The hard nickel layer has the advantage of offering very good electrodeposition in difficult areas. This allows geometries with unfavourable depth and width ratios to be made by electroforming.
Due to the excellent thermal conductivity of copper, the hard copper layer enables rapid and even heating of the tool. In the case of spray tools, where the production temperature is approx. 65 °C, heating tubes are affi xed to the back of the deposited nickel copper system. The tubing is backed with a metallic filled resin mixture. The nickel shell is mounted on a supporting frame. Spray tools used in the Direct Backfoaming Process (DBF) are backed with a special concrete material (Densit). For this purpose the tools are mounted on a base frame which matches the upper part.
