Abstract
Methods and materials for forming a three-dimensional (3D) structure in a material are described. An example method includes directing a liquid casting material into a mold cavity of a mold structure, where the mold cavity corresponds to a three-dimensional (3D) structure. The method further includes causing the liquid casting material to solidify within the mold cavity to form a solid structure of the casting material, removing at least a portion of the mold structure from the solid structure of the casting material, and forming a structural material around the solid structure of the casting material. The solid casting material is liquified within the structural material. The liquified casting material is evacuated from the structural material to form the 3D structure in the structural material.
