A compression mold for use in a compression molding tool, is manufactured by an additive manufacturing method, particularly electron beam melting, selective laser melting, or selective laser sintering. A method for manufacturing a compression mold for use in a compression molding tool includes forming a compression mold body of the compression mold with an additive manufacturing (AM) method.
