• The generation of a near-contour temperature control
• The design of large-format moulds (bumper, container, etc.) with near-surface cooling channels by combining the additive manufacturing processes arc welding and diffusion welding with conventional processes
• These are moulds intended for injection moulding, pressure die casting, punching, reforming and press hardening

• Development of methods and strategies for the construction of large-dimension moulds with inside-recumbent cooling channels
• Provision of the proof of functionality
• Comparison of conventionally manufactured tools with the additively manufactured tools in respect of cycle time and warpage
