Micro-Milling of Thin Mould for Continuous Productions of Polymer Microfluidic Devices

This paper reports an attempt to produce thin embossing mould by using micro-milling process and subsequently tested in fabricating polymer microfluidic devices using hot roller embossing process. Two embossing moulds with thicknesses of 260 μm (thin) and 500 μm (thick) made of Al6061-T6 are fabri...
