Abstract: The microstructure of a trilateral product was studied by experiment for its formability and replication fidelity through a "light chemical manufacturing" approach. The integrity of the edge was set as a measure of the formability, and the height of the edge was set as a measure the replication fidelity. It was found that the ultraviolet radiation had a significant impact on the formability and replication fidelity of the microstructure of the product. Mould and temperature had no effect on formability of the fine structure, however, had a significant influence on replication fidelity of the microstructure.

Key words: ultraviolet curing, light chemical manufacturing, microstructure, formability, replication fidelity
