Abstract
Methods of fabricating a component, such as a cascade grid panel for a jet engine thrust reverser, having a plurality of cavities extending through the component, with each cavity having at least one surface with a complex contour, and related devices. A plurality of two or more mold inserts are stacked to form a mold insert stack, with the mold insert stack having a plurality of mold bosses formed by mold boss sets. The mold boss sets are each formed by a mold boss segment from each of the mold inserts. Further, the mold boss segments are affixed to respective baseplates so that the mold boss segments can be handled as a group and remain properly positioned relative to their neighboring mold boss segments.
