Abstract

. A container having one or more compartments therewithin, wherein an internal support structure extends through the compartments. The internal support structure is configured for enhancing the structural integrity of the container. Each compartment is defined at least in part by a preform. One or more preforms are assembled into a casting insert for forming the container. The casting insert includes one or more flow paths. A molten material is introduced about the insert, including into the one or more flow paths. The solidified molten material defines the external walls and the internal support structure of the container. The preform defining the compartment within the container can be retained therewithin or can be eliminated therefrom. The compartments within the container are in fluid communications, and an opening through an external wall of the container is configured for regulating fluid communications thereacross.
