Abstract

A method of creating a component comprises forming a substrate and depositing a template material within the substrate, such that there are a plurality of template member. The component is heated to a temperature above a melting point of the template material, such that the template material wicks into a porosity of the substrate and forms a component with voids. An average hydraulic diameter of the voids is less than 1 millimeter.
