Claims
- 1. A method for manufacturing a knife-edge die provided with at least one flat-headed presser die which comprises the steps of
- (a) putting a transparency bearing a line pattern having a uniform line width, the center line of said line pattern relative to the width thereof being along the contour line of the pattern desired to be stamped out and a full pattern in the form of the pattern desired to be stamped out, said line pattern and said full pattern being disposed in parallel with each other, on the surface of a die block coated with a film of a photoresist material in direct contact therewith,
- (b) irradiating the photoresist film with light through the transparency to have the photoresist material photocured under the line pattern and the full pattern on the transparency,
- (c) developing the photoresist material to leave the photocured films pattern-wise corresponding to the line pattern and the full pattern on the transparency,
- (d) subjecting the surface of the die block to a first etching to such an extent that substantial side etching takes place behind the photoresist film corresponding to the line pattern,
- (e) removing the photoresist films from the surface of the die block so as to expose the edge and a plateau-like flat surface behind the photoresist film corresponding to the full pattern,
- (f) grinding the plateau-like flat surface to reduce the height thereof, and
- (g) subjecting the surface of the die block with the thus exposed edge and the ground plateau-like flat surface to a second etching to such an extent that the edge is sharpened to form a knife edge and the plateau-like flat surface is provided with a rounded shoulder to form a presser die.
