https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.09529
Form of soft lithography that uses the relief patterns in a master template to make 3-dimensional structures.
Notes:
  1. Molds are commonly fabricated from an elastomer, such as polydimethylsiloxane.
  2. Micromolding is used to manufacture parts of micro-objects, such as microfluidic circuits.
