The authors show that the self-similar set for a finite family of contractive similitudes (similarities, i.e., |fi(x) - fi(y)| = αi|x - y|, x,y ∈ RN, where 0 < αi < 1) is uniformly perfect except the case that it is a singleton. As a corollary, it is proved that this self-similar set has positive Hausdorff dimension provided that it is not a singleton. And a lower bound of the upper box dimension of the uniformly perfect sets is given. Meanwhile the uniformly perfect set with Hausdorff measure zero in its Hausdorff dimension is given.
