Abstract
A method of forming micro-based devices is provided that includes dispensing a liquid curable resin into a mold set with a reservoir section. Also, the method includes spinning the reservoir section and mold set so as to completely fill the patterning portion of the mold set with the liquid curable resin. The mold set is placed in a heating and cooling station that produces a cured part e. Also, the method includes moving the mold set and the cured part to a parting station, where the cured part is removed from the mold set.
