Abstract

A method of manufacturing an interlayer comprising a first material and a second material. A first structure (302) is formed from the first material on a first surface using an additive manufacturing technique. The first structure comprises at least one surface which is not in contact with the first surface and faces towards the first surface at an angle of less than 90 degrees. A second structure (303) is formed from the second material, such that the second structure conforms to the first structure on a side of the first structure opposite the first surface. The first structure and the second structure together form the interlayer, and the first structure and second structure are shaped such that separating the first and second structure requires deforming one or both of the first or second structure.
