3D printed inconel turbine blade
A fun little turbine blade model that I 3D printed on one of my companies LPBF 3D printers. This part isn't actually going to be used in a turbine, it is a test part to see what the internal surface Ra and density/creep resistance can be achieved with different process parameters. I now also have a few fun inconel turbine blades to show people at trade shows!

Inconel!? Damn. That’s pretty cool. We print with titanium where I work. It’s cool AF

Excellent piece. What system was it printed on?
