Abstract
A system may be configured to manufacture a layered cage of a trim. Some embodiments may additively manufacture, in each of a plurality of layers, a plurality of channels each having a cross section such that an amount of the layers satisfies a criterion, the cross section being defined by vertical walls, angular portions that extend from the walls, and a shaped top and/or bottom intersecting with angular portions. And the channels of one of the layers may not intersect with any other channel of any other layer of the cage.
Claims10
A system, comprising:
- a plurality of layers in a first trim, each of the layers comprising a plurality of channels,
- wherein each of the channels has a cross section such that an amount of the layers satisfies a criterion,
- wherein the cross section is defined by vertical walls, angular portions that extend from the walls, and a rounded top that intersects with the angular portions,
- wherein the channels of a first of the layers do not intersect with any other channel of any other layer of the first trim, and
- wherein the channels and layers are provided via additive manufacturing.
