The manufacturing of large quantities of polymeric optical and micro-optical components becomes more and more important regarding to industrial applications as MEMS devices, customer electronics or micro imaging systems. In particular, the manufacturing of polymeric micro-optics by micro injection molding requires further improvement concerning the whole process chain in order to achieve the needed process capability for high-quality mass production. Major aspects of current development are mold technology and the associated manufacturing technologies. Especially dimensional accuracy of micro features, surface quality and surface temperature homogeneity are key influencing parameters on replication results [1].
