High temperature lamination tool

摘要

A tool (10) for laminating a metal foil (23) and polymer film (25) to form a laminate structure (20) is disclosed. A method of using the tool (10) to form a laminate structure (20) is also disclosed. The tool (10) comprises movable platens (11) having sealing surfaces (12) which form a cavity (19). The cavity (19) is pressurized and heated to form the laminated structure (20) and evacuated to remove volatiles from the structure (20).
