1. A system, comprising:
a plurality of layers in a first trim, each of the layers comprising a plurality of channels,
wherein each of the channels has a cross section such that an amount of the layers satisfies a criterion,
wherein the cross section is defined by vertical walls, angular portions that extend from the walls, and a rounded top that intersects with the angular portions,
wherein the channels of a first of the layers do not intersect with any other channel of any other layer of the first trim, and
wherein the channels and layers are provided via additive manufacturing.
