Copper AM star-cell hexagonal thermal core

Copper hexagonal block with a star-cell lattice cross-section — distinct from plate-style cold plates; for discussing open-cell copper cores and cutaway inspection of cell walls.

    Lattice core versus cold plate

    This core is about open star-cell walls and manifold interfaces, not a flat sealing sandwich. Powder must leave through the cells before any performance talk.

    • Show manifold weld or braze lands if they exist on your drawing
    • Keep at least one inspection cut or borescope path in early articles
