Systems, Devices, and/or Methods for Producing Holes

摘要

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system, machine, device, manufacture, circuit, and/or composition of matter adapted for and/or resulting from, and/or a method for activities that can comprise and/or relate to, a first form comprising: a plurality of surface artifacts that substantially spatially replicate a surface geometry of a stacked foil mold; and a prong that is adapted to form a hole in a cast product.

主权项

1. A device comprising:
a metallic cast product comprising:
a first plurality of surface artifacts that are integral to the metallic cast product and substantially spatially replicate a surface geometry of a stacked foil mold from which the metallic cast product descended, wherein:
the first plurality of surface artifacts resemble seams but do not extend substantially below a surface of the metallic cast product; andeach surface artifact from the first plurality of surface artifacts geometrically replicates a thickness of a foil of the stacked foil mold; anda product surface that defines a first hole, the first hole defining a hole longitudinal axis, an intersection of the product surface and a wall of the first hole defining a depth of the first hole, the intersection defining a fillet that is integral to the product, the fillet defining a first midpoint fillet depth measured in a first plane that contains the hole longitudinal axis, the fillet defining a second midpoint fillet depth measured in a second plane that contains the hole longitudinal axis, the first plane separated from the second plane by a predetermined angle measured perpendicular to the hole longitudinal axis, the fillet comprising one or more surface artifacts from the first plurality of surface artifacts.
