A valve component (20) for controlling fluid flow comprises a body (21) having a first surface (26) and a second surface (28). At least one tortuous flow channel (40) extends between the first surface and the second surface. The flow channel is at least partially defined by a floor portion (86) and a ceiling portion (84). The body is formed as one-piece by additive manufacturing to concurrently define the flow channel as a void space. At least one of the floor portion and ceiling portion is disposed at an acute angle relative to a plane containing a layer of material forming the body. |
