Process Porn: A Surprising Alternative Production Method for Making Heat Sinks
They should call this the Norelco method
I always assumed that all aluminum heat sinks, with all of those fins, were either extruded or cast. And while both of those are common production methods, I just stumbled across this crazy-looking alternative method:
