Injection molding tool with embedded induction heater

An injection molding tool comprising:

• a first mold die having a first tool face;
• a second mold die having a second tool face and configured to abut the first mold die, the first tool face and second tool face configured to partially define a part cavity between the first mold die and the second mold die;
• and
• an induction heating element embedded into the first mold die such that the induction heating element defines a portion of the first tool face, the induction heating element including:
• an electrical conductor;
• an electrically insulating material disposed about the conductor;
• a ferromagnetic material disposed adjacent the electrical conductor and the electrically insulating material, and defining a portion of the first tool face;
• and
• wherein each of the first mold die and the second mold die are formed from a non-ferromagnetic material, the induction heating element being embedded into the non-ferromagnetic material of the first mold die.
