Abstract
A microstructured mold is produced from a solid body (metal, ceramic, glass, stone or monocrystalline material) by precision mechanical machining, additive or subtractive structuring. The mold insert is filled and covered by a flowable material and the solidified material is separated from the mold insert giving a microstructure element. The microstructure elements produced by the process have good material properties and can be prepared in a broad range of shapes and structures.
