Abstract
A mold for manufacturing a casted workpiece is, at least in-part, manufactured utilizing an additive manufacturing process. The mold may have a core having non-line-of-sight features that are additively manufactured and in contact with an outer shell of a wax mold and/or an outer shell of a casting mold of the mold. The outer shell of either the wax or casting molds may also be additively manufactured, and the shell of the casting mold may be additively manufactured as one unitary piece to the core.
