...careful design of photo-masters, but can be an advantage as it reduces stress concentrations. Surface finish depends largely on the surface of the initial material, but is typically in the range Ra = 1.6–6.3 μm. Surfaces show the grain structure of the metal, due to attack by the etchant. Dimensions and tolerances depend on material, thickness and design of the...
