Abstract
A stereolithographically fabricated heat sink may include non-linear, or convoluted passageways therethrough, through which air can flow. The heat sink may also include a heat dissipation element that is configured to release heat as air flows past a surface thereof. As at least a portion of the heat sink is stereolithographically fabricated, that portion can have a series of superimposed, contiguous, mutually adhered layers of thermally conductive material.
