benefits Hollow Victory Part weight, a critical factor in aircraft or automobile parts, is an important detail of medical parts as well. Patients carry implants within them, and surgeons need to manipulate medical implements easily and comfortably. The medical part seen here would have been much heavier if the part had been machined, but the additive process enabled it to be grown hollow for weight savings. The part even has through-holes from the OD to the ID, but the hollow spaces inside the part's walls are still airtight. The through-holes were simply grown into the component as part of the additive process. AdditiveManufacturingInsight.com August 2013 — 5
