Abstract
A method of manufacturing a component for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes forming the component with a first manufacturing technique to include a first cavity and a second cavity, and a microcircuit in fluid communication with the first cavity, the component including an outer wall and a ribbed portion or a bulged portion extending from the outer wall. The exemplary method includes forming a plunged hole with a second manufacturing technique different from the first manufacturing technique to intersect at least a portion of the microcircuit and extend into the ribbed portion or the bulged portion.
