Abstract
A method of integrating wear plates into a spray formed rapid tool includes the steps of making a model of a desired tool and constructing a ceramic pattern as the inverse of the model. The method also includes the steps of locating at least one wear plate on the ceramic pattern and thermally spraying a metal material against the wear plate and ceramic pattern to form the desired tool and embedding the wear plate into the desired tool.
