Abstract: A press pad for a hydraulic heating press arrangement, the press pad including a fabric, wherein the fabric is formed by warp threads in a warp direction and weft threads in a weft direction, wherein the warp threads and the weft threads are woven together to form the fabric, and wherein functional threads run in the warp direction or in the weft direction and are connected with the fabric so that a thickness of the fabric in an effective portion of the functional threads differs from a thickness of the fabric outside of the effective portion of the functional threads.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a pressing tool for producing a workpiece, the pressing tool may include a base structure of metal, a pressing surface, and/or a lacquer or plastic layer. The lacquer or plastic layer may be arranged on the base structure. The lacquer or plastic layer may form, at least partially, the pressing surface. Layer mineral particles may be embedded in the lacquer or plastic layer. A method for producing a pressing tool may include coating a base structure with a lacquer or plastic layer while adding mineral particles.

Abstract: A method for producing a pressing tool for producing a workpiece, the pressing tool may include a pressing surface having a structure of protrusions and recesses, the method may include applying a mask for covering regions, applying a metal layer to the regions not covered by the mask while adding mineral particles, and/or repeating the foregoing steps until the pressing surface with the structure of the protrusions and recesses is formed by repeated, layered application of masks and metal layers while adding mineral particles. The pressing surface may have regions of different degrees of gloss and/or metal of at least two metal layers may be different in order to obtain the regions of different degrees of gloss.

Abstract: A method and a device produces a pressing tool. A pressing tool is provided for producing a workpiece, which pressing tool includes a structured pressing surface of metal with elevations and recesses. Subsequently, a laser or an electron beam device is controlled such that a laser beam generated by the laser and/or an electron beam generated by the electron beam device is directed onto the pressing surface and hits it, such that the pressing surface is laser hardened and/or electron beam hardened.

Abstract: A method for producing a material board, which has a structured, colored surface, assigns image data to a colored digital image of a colored original surface. The image data is used to produce a first image data set and at least one second image data set, which are each assigned to different color channels of the colored digital image. A colored surface is produced on a base carrier using the at least one second image data set but without using the first image data set. The colored surface of the base carrier is pressed by use of a structured pressing surface of a pressing tool, in order to obtain the material board with the structured, colored surface. The structured pressing surface is assigned to the first image data set.
