From Micro to Nano Hot Stamping: Recent Developments

Over the past fifteen years, the hot-stamping technique applied to plastic microcomponents has been a key factor in the success of polymer systems microtechnology. This technology has made considerable progress. Components are no longer simple prototypes that are deep-drawn or stamped, but rather complex components with multilayer structures or integrated conductive circuits. This report provides an overview of hot-stamping technology, which is currently evolving toward the nanoscale.
