Abstract:
An exemplary forming assembly includes a mold having a cavity to form a component, and an insert having first, second, and third regions. The first region provides a first passageway opening in the component. The second region provides a second passageway opening in the component. The third region provides a passageway in the component. The insert is rotatable from a first position within the passageway to a second position outside the passageway. An exemplary component forming method includes positioning a material around an insert, curing the material to provide a component, and rotating the insert relative to the component from a first position where at least some of the insert is received within a passageway of the component to a second position where the entire insert is outside the passageway.
