Multi-layer vent for increased airflow and emi shielding in an information handling system

A vent in a chassis of an information handling system, the vent comprising:

• a first plate comprising a first plurality of structures separated by a first plurality of continuous surface areas;
• and
• a second plate comprising a second plurality of structures separated by a second plurality of continuous surface areas, wherein:
• each structure of the first plurality of structures and each structure of the second plurality of structures comprises:
• a base opening defining a first set of dimensions;
• a contact area with a continuous surface defining a second set of dimensions, wherein the contact area is smaller than the base opening;
• and
• at least one wall extending from the base opening to the contact area, the at least one wall comprising a plurality of holes;
• and
• the plurality of structures on the first plate are coupled to the plurality of structures on the second plate at their respective contact areas to form a continuous surface.
