Gallery notes
Impellers combine freeform blades with a precise hub. Metal AM can form blades; CNC usually finishes the bore and faces used for balance.
- Minimum blade thickness must be printable and inspectable
- State whether flow surfaces may remain as-built
- Do not invent RPM or efficiency numbers here
