never mind, found it. had to follow the links.

I can tell you from my day job, If you draw your CAD parts with datums for all the interfaces and then put material down, it's a really good basis for starting over with a 3d vs NC part

If you’re paying attention, you’ll notice that these were printed in SLM 316L Stainless Steel on a ZRapid SLM 3D Printer. While there are hundreds of powdered materials that can be used when printing metal, there are crowd favorites that tend to be loaded in machines and carbon steel is certainly not one of them. If you want exactly what you want, you’re probably going to have to pay to have the machined cleaned on both ends of production to get that. That adds a ton of cost to what is already expensive. 316SS is a common material that I can still weld into my frames so that really drove this decision. Weld-Mold 880 will fill the gaps.
