Abstract

A method for producing a microstructured body, in which a casting mold including a casting frame and a bottom plate is formed and is filled with a reaction molding compound. After curing, the casting frame is part of the component, while the bottom plate can be reused. Since both the base plate and the frame have been produced by microstructuring technology methods, this method yields a component that has high precision but can nevertheless be produced inexpensively in large numbers.
