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: The disclosure relates to a pressing tool which has a structured pressing surface which is provided for producing, by pressing, a workpiece having a structured surface. At least one region of the pressing surface has a peg-shaped and/or rod-shaped structure with pegs and/or rods protruding from the pressing surface. The disclosure also relates to a workpiece which comprises a structured surface. At least one region of the structured surface comprises crater-shaped recesses in the structured surface, in order to confer a relatively matte impression on this region.

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.
