The present disclosure concerns a grid for selective transmission of electromagnetic radiation, particularly X-ray radiation, that has at least one structural element (2) that was built by means of selective laser sintering of an essentially radiation-opaque powder material, and it also discloses a method of manufacturing a grid for selective transmission of electromagnetic radiation that comprises the step of growing at least a structural element (2) by means of selective laser sintering from an essentially radiation-opaque powder material. Having a structural element that is built by selective laser sintering, the grid can be a highly complex 3D structure that is not achievable by molding or milling techniques. In one embodiment of the grid, the sintered structure engages through holes in metal sheets.
A grid for selective transmission of electromagnetic radiation that comprises at least one structural element that was built by means of selective laser sintering of an essentially radiation-opaque powder material, wherein structural elements of the grid are formed by metal sheets and the sintered element extends at least between two of the metal sheets and on both sides of at least one of the metal sheets.
