Abstract
A manufacturing method is provided during which a plurality of first apertures are formed in a first plate to provide an apertured first plate. The apertured first plate is configured from or otherwise includes first plate metal. A first sheet is bonded to the apertured first plate to form a first grid structure. The first apertures extend through the apertured first plate to the first sheet. The first sheet is configured from or otherwise includes first sheet metal.
