The shaped body has at least one air through-hole extending from the seating surface to the air flow module. The air flow module is in fluid communication with the at least one air through-hole in the shaped body. At least one channel extends in a radial direction adjacent the lower surface of the shaped body. The air flow module is in fluid communication with the at least one channel, and provides airflow between the seating surface of the shaped body and the at least one channel.
