Has anyone tried to make cutting tools such as turning inserts using 3D printing? I know that a few companies have tried this with mixed success. But has anyone on here tried this? Aside from the obvious advantages such as complex geometries, would there be any other advantages? How would the properties such as hardness, toughness and micro-structure compare to a conventionally made insert?
