Doing Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) after SLM is often considered as a best way to reduce the porosity and anisotropy. But in the most of the research papers, tests has been carried out on samples of cubic/ cuboid shape. Are there any papers available on studies HIP carried out on some complex AM components (one having internal channels , with thin sections etc.) ? Will this process have any significant effect in the dimension and shape?

Any leads will be helpful.
