Abstract

The present invention is an apparatus and method for machining a laminate structure to form a selected shape. The method includes forming a first layer on a substrate. A first protective structure is defined that is attached to each of the first layer and the substrate. At least a portion of the protective structure has the selected shape. The laminate structure is then machined along the first protective structure thereby forming at least a portion of the selected shape.
