Abstract

An apparatus may have a tool die for forming a component. The tool die may have a die susceptor having a forming surface for forming the component, and at least one flexible induction coil segment for heating the die susceptor. The at least one flexible induction coil segment may be configured to conform to a contour of the forming surface of the die susceptor.
