METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF A FEMALE EMBOSSING TOOL, A FEMALE EMBOSSING TOOL, AND AN EMBOSSING MODULE EQUIPPED THEREWITH

摘要

A method for production of a female embossing tool (6) intended for embossing a sheet element (60): provide a female embossing tool (6) with an outer layer (44) made of a material with shape-memory type properties, and the outer face of the layer has no recesses; provide a male embossing tool (5, 5′) with an outer face with at least one protuberance corresponding to at least one desired embossing relief that is to be formed on the sheet element (60) after embossing; and cooperation of the male embossing tool (5, 5′) with the female embossing tool (6) such that the outer layer (44) of the female embossing tool (6) undergoes a plastic deformation which creates at least one recess (42, 42′) of a shape complementary to the protuberance(s) (41, 41′) of the male embossing tool (5, 5′).
