NOVELTY - A template (10) useful for fabrication of shaped structures comprises a first surface configuration for shaping a surface of an object; and a component, e.g. mask, for manipulating radiation in a manner to create a radiation pattern. The first surface configuration comprises a patterned surface.    USE - The template is useful for fabrication of shaped structures consisting of light emitting devices, tissue scaffolds, electrodes, drug delivery vehicles, structures designed to facilitate the flow of a liquid, structures designed to facilitate the flow of a gas, photonic crystals, superprisms, structures that alter the dispersion properties of transmitted electromagnetic radiation, optical sensors, chemical sensors, biological sensors, pressure sensors, thermal sensors, optical transmission filters, particle filters, fuel cells, reactive catalysts, integrated fluid filters and mixers, or biologically functionalized materials (claimed). The shape structures can be gratings, computer generated holograms, beam shapers, beam splitters, beam conditioners, wavefront shapers, refractive optical structures associated with a template surface, such as lenses, beam shapers, and prisms, and mechanical structures associated with template surface, such alignment fixtures or features, connectors for optical fibers, and pieces of tubing (for flow of light, liquid or gas).    ADVANTAGE - The component for manipulating and/or segmenting radiation patterns does not necessarily require radiation interference to create a radiation pattern. The mask can include a nonperiodic structure to create arbitrary light distributions for the creation of aperiodic structures.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for:    (1) a method of fabricating shaped structures comprising positioning a patterned surface (12) of a form mold in proximity to a surface (16) of an object on which a structure is to be formed; filling a space between the object on which the structure is to be formed and the patterned surface with a radiation sensitive material; creating a radiation pattern; and exposing the radiation sensitive material to the radiation pattern to effect a chemical change and/or a physical change within the radiation sensitive material and to form a first pattern in the radiation sensitive material corresponding to the radiation pattern; and    (2) a shaped structure comprising one-dimensionally shaped patterns, two-dimensionally shaped patterns, and/or three-dimensionally shaped patterns, and at least one shaped surface.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure is a schematic cross-sectional view of a representative form mold.    Template (10)    Patterned surface (12)    Mask (14)    Surface (16)    Gap distance (18)
