An injection molding tool includes a first mold die having a first tool face and a second mold die having a second tool face. The second mold die is configured to abut the first mold die, wherein the first tool face and second tool face are configured to partially define a part cavity between the first mold die and the second mold die. An induction heating element is embedded into the first mold die such that the induction heating element defines a portion of the first tool face. The induction heating element includes an electrical conductor, an electrically insulating material disposed about the conductor, and a ferromagnetic material disposed adjacent the electrical conductor and electrically insulating material.
