1. A method comprising:
creating a computer-generated model for a haptic feedback system comprising:
a plurality of actuators arranged in a first layer of the haptic feedback system; and
a plurality of channels routed in a second layer of the haptic feedback system, the second layer being below the first layer;
printing a three-dimensional wax mold structure of the computer-generated model; and
forming the haptic feedback system in a single step using the three-dimensional wax mold structure.
