Same, same but different :-)

I tried quite few options and it seems that this idea that many of us followed is probably the most reasonable one . I can also assume that GE would like to use SLM/DMLS technology to build this kind of parts so I was also wandering how complicated support structure should be used as titanium is quite difficult material for laser melting because of its shrinkage factor. Layer manufacturing in metal is not 3d printing and not everything can be built without distortions ;-). Original weight: 2038g New weight: 424g Mass saved: 79,2% FEA smallest safety factor: 1,1
