This process overcomes some geometrical limitations in microstructured mould fabrication, enables positive-tone imprinting, prolongs the lifetime of the master, and lowers the overall cost of the replication process.</p> hot-embossing Hot/UV embossing Mechanical machining milling milling polymeric mould polymers Replication Mon, 19 May 2008 13:33:38 +0100
