    Abstract: Molded structures, methods of and apparatus for producing the molded structures are provided. At least a portion of the surface features for the molds are formed from multilayer electrochemically fabricated structures (e.g. fabricated by the EFABnull formation process), and typically contain features having resolutions within the 1 to 100 nullm range. The layered structure is combined with other mold components, as necessary, and a molding material is injected into the mold and hardened. The layered structure is removed (e.g. by etching) along with any other mold components to yield the molded article. In some embodiments portions of the layered structure remain in the molded article and in other embodiments an additional molding material is added after a partial or complete removal of the layered structure.

    Abstract translation: 提供了模制结构,制造模制结构的方法和设备。 用于模具的表面特征的至少一部分由多层电化学制造的结构(例如通过EFAB TM形成工艺制造)形成,并且通常包含具有在1至100μm范围内的分辨率的特征。 根据需要,将层状结构与其他模具部件组合,并将模塑材料注入模具中并硬化。 层压结构与任何其它模具部件一起被除去(例如通过蚀刻)以产生模塑制品。 在一些实施例中,分层结构的部分保留在模制品中,并且在其它实施例中,在部分或完全去除层状结构之后添加另外的模制材料。
