It would cost quite a bit of money to pay a foundry to set up to pour that
grill. If you wanted to buy 50000 of them then the setup cost might be
reasonable, but for one? Probably not.

It might be possible to buy a thin cast plate and have it laserjet cut for just
a couple hundred dollars, though.
