A scalable method for fabricating architected materials well‐suited for heat and mass exchange is presented. These materials exhibit unprecedented combinations of small hydraulic diameters (13.0–0.09 mm) and large hydraulic‐diameter‐to‐thickness ratios (5.0–30,100). This process expands the range of material architectures achievable starting from photopolymer waveguide lattices or additive manufacturing.
