I'm looking for way to create a dense pattern of electrically-conductive high points (bumps) on an aluminum surface without stamping or diecasting. What I'm really looking for is a way to "knurl" a flat surface or create a dense, diamond-like pattern. I know about tread plate but my part is too thick and irregular(and the pattern has to dense) to stamp the pattern into it. Also, my volumes will be low so powder metallurgy and other high-volume methods would not be worthwhile. I'm open to ideas and I am grateful for your input.
