Abstract
A component according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a wall and a hollow vascular engineered lattice structure formed inside of the wall. The hollow vascular engineered lattice structure has an inlet hole and an outlet hole that communicate fluid into and out of the hollow vascular structure. The hollow vascular engineered lattice structure further has at least one resupply inlet hole between the inlet hole and the outlet hole with respect to a dimension of the component to communicate additional fluid into the hollow vascular engineered lattice structure.
