Modular forming tool, modular forming tool set, press tool system and method of making modular forming tool

A modular forming tool set for creating a modular forming tool, the modular forming tool set comprising

• two different primary tools and a plurality of reinforcing tubes,
• wherein the reinforcing tubes are formed such that one of the plurality of reinforcing tubes surrounds another one of the plurality of reinforcing tubes and the surrounding reinforcing tubes have a wall thickness which is greater than and/or equal to the surrounding reinforcing tubes,
• wherein all of the plurality of reinforcing tubes are formed in such a way that they have a conical outer sheath surface,
• wherein at least one reinforcing tube of the plurality of reinforcing tubes has a conical inner sheath surface and a conical outer sheath surface,
• wherein the primary tools have a workpiece machining surface, a conical sheath surface, and two end surfaces,
• wherein the conical sheath surface of the one primary tool corresponds to the conical inner sheath surface of the at least one reinforcing tube, and
• wherein the conical sheath surface of the other primary tool corresponds to the conical outer sheath surface of the at least one reinforcing tube.

A method for manufacturing a modular forming tool, the method comprising the steps:

• providing a primary tool,
• providing a plurality of reinforcing tubes,
• applying a lubricant to the reinforcing tube and/or the primary tool,
• pressing the primary tool cold and/or hot into the reinforcing tube, wherein the modular forming tool comprises a plurality of reinforcing tubes,
• wherein the reinforcing tubes of the modular forming tool are formed such that the surrounding reinforcing tubes have a wall thickness which is greater than and/or equal to the surrounding reinforcing tubes,
• wherein all the reinforcing tubes are formed in such a way that they have a conical outer sheath surface.
