dc.description.abstractThe EOS Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and DTM Rapid Steel 2 processes may be used to create tools incorporating conformal channels behind the tool surface through which fluids may be passed. To date, a significant amount of work has been carried out to investigate the efficiency of using conformal channels to cool tools. This work suggests the use of conformal channels to both cool and heat a single tool. This may appear self-defeating at first but the selective nature by which conformal channels may make this a worthwhile means of generating hitherto unavailable thermal conditions within a tool. Such conditions may then allow the successful production of geometries which had previously been impossible to mould.en_US
