Abstract
A method of additively manufacturing a component is provided and includes generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of the component, generating a heat map of the 3D model which is illustrative of thermal effects the component is expected to experience, updating the 3D model to include 3D heat exchange fin models for reducing the thermal effects and updating the 3D model with the 3D heat exchange fin models to include 3D weight reduction cavity models for weight-neutralizing the 3D heat exchange fin models.
