Zusammenfassung:A system and method is provided related to additive manufacturing, where a welding system is used to build a work piece on a substrate where the work piece has discrete attachment points to the substrate to allow residual stresses in the finished work piece to aid in the removal of the work piece from the substrate. The work piece has one or more discrete attachment points which penetrate into the substrate to secure the work piece during manufacture, but which allow the residual stress in the completed work piece to aid in the removal of the work piece from the substrate.
