Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of producing an electric, electronic, electromechanical and/or mechanical component (12), where the component substrate is given a three-dimensional structure (3″) or configuration, and where said substrate is adapted for further treatment or processing to form the component (12). The substrate is formed by shaping said substrate against a die or mold, such as by molding, pressing, extruding or embossing said substrate, wherewith the precision necessary with respect to said component in the three-dimensional structure is achieved by means of a micromechanical working process when producing the die or mold.
