Metal AM micro-orifice grid plate

    Micro-feature mindset

    Dense orifice fields look simple from the front but need clear minimum hole size, powder-clear paths, and a plan for measuring the grid.

    • State which holes are flow-critical versus vent or cosmetic
    • Keep corner mounts solid enough for fasteners
    • Do not invent micron capability numbers on this page
