I think ive cut just about all of the common nickle alloys in aerospace parts mfg in 30+ years. HRSA’s...heat resistant super alloys are always a challenge to work with. Too bad that working with it doesnt pay the machinist any more $. Gotta admire the 3D printing tech these days.
If the material has to be created in a 3D printer, then making the part at the same time is obvious. No machining required. The parts are fabricated as the material is created.
