GRID FOR SELECTIVE TRANSMISSION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION WITH STRUCTURAL ELEMENT BUILT BY SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING

摘要

The present disclosure concerns a grid for selective transmission of electromagnetic radiation, particularly X-ray radiation, that has at least one structural element (2) that was built by means of selective laser sintering of an essentially radiation-opaque powder material, and it also discloses a method of manufacturing a grid for selective transmission of electromagnetic radiation that comprises the step of growing at least a structural element (2) by means of selective laser sintering from an essentially radiation- opaque powder material. Having a structural element that is built by selective laser sintering, the grid can be a highly complex 3D structure that is not achievable by molding or milling techniques. In one embodiment of the grid, the sintered structure engages through holes in metal sheets.
