Abstract
A stamp for patterning onto a receiving surface of an object () according to a defined pattern (P) comprises a stamping surface () of a resilient diaphragm (). The stamping surface is planar at rest. The pattern is reproduced on the stamping surface and the diaphragm is affixed to a rigid body () along a peripheral edge, so that a middle part of the diaphragm can move along a direction perpendicular to the stamping surface. The diaphragm () is more flexible near the peripheral edge than in the middle part. Then, the pattern (P) printed on a pseudo-spherical receiving surface () using the stamp exhibits few distortion.
