Abstract: A mould tool assembly (10) has a mould tool component (14) having a temperature control face (24) arranged to be in thermal contact with a mould face (12), a temperature control arrangement (26) comprising a fluid outlet (32) directed towards the temperature control face (24); and a thermally conductive structure (40) extending from: (i) a first region in which the structure (40) is offset from the temperature control face (24) and the structure is in the path of a fluid jet (1) emanating from the fluid outlet (32) to (ii) a second region in contact with temperature control face, which second region is spaced from the first region. A diffuser (70; 80; 90) is also provided on the temperature control face for more event mould tool heating.
