Recent ultra-precision machining systems have nano-scale resolution, and can machine various shapes of complex structures using five-axis driven modules. These systems are also multi-functional, which can perform various processes such as planing, milling, turning et al. in one system. Micro machining technology using these systems is being developed for machining fine patterns, hybrid patterns and high aspect-ratio patterns on large-area molds with high productivity. These technology is and will be applied continuously to the fields of optics, display, energy, bio, communications and et al. Domestic and foreign trends of micro machining technologies for flat molds were investigated in this study. Especially, we focused on the types and the characteristics of ultra-precision machining systems and application fields of micro patterns machined by the machining system.

In the fields of display, optics, and energy, it is important to improve micropattern-machining technology for achieving small patterns, large surface areas, and low cost. Unlike flat molds, roll molds have the following advantages: they can be manufactured within a short time, larger surface areas can be obtained, and continuous molding can be achieved. In this study, we aim to investigate the causes for errors in the shapes for a micropattern-machining process, and we show that by compensating the dynamic balance of roll molds, the dimensional accuracy of machined parts can be improved. The experimental results show that dynamic-balance compensation for a roll mold reduced the mass unbalance and the vibrations of the roll mold, and as a result, the dimensional accuracy of machined micropatterns has been improved.
