Abstract: An additively manufactured (AM) object may include a body including an opening in an exterior surface thereof, the opening having a shape and a first area at the exterior surface of the body. A mask may be positioned over the opening. The mask has the shape of the opening and a second area that is larger than the first area so as to overhang the exterior surface of the body about the opening. A plurality of support ligaments couple to the mask and the exterior surface of the body at a location adjacent to the opening to support a portion of the mask. A coating can be applied to the object, and the mask removed. The final AM object includes a plurality of ligament elements extending from the exterior surface of the body and through the coating adjacent the opening, each ligament element at least partially surrounded by the coating.

Abstract: A cooled structure of a gas turbine engine has a main body with a leading edge, a trailing edge, a first side portion, a second side portion, and a cavity. A first set of cooling air micro-channels extends from the cavity and is arranged along the first side portion. A second set of cooling air micro-channels extends from the cavity and is arranged along the second side portion. The first and second set of cooling air micro-channels have turning portions positioned adjacent each other and interwoven exhaust ends originating from each opposing side micro-channel. Each interwoven exhaust end extends around the opposing turning portion and is configured to exhaust cooling air from a plurality of exhaust ports positioned generally radially outward from the turning portions.
