1. A method, comprising:
meshing a 3D model representation of a component defining a reaction chamber of an abatement apparatus so as to produce a porous shape consisting of a mesh with selected faces closed so as to provide porosity and line-of-sight optical blindness;
meshing the porous shape consisting of a mesh with selected faces closed to produce a secondary mesh;
using the secondary mesh to determine flow characteristics of the porous shape;
determining that the flow characteristics of the secondary mesh satisfy specified component characteristics and in response,
fabricating said porous shape.
