This is news to me. Not doubting you - curious. Can you show me some links on that? I suspect so they can iterate quickly. They're complex shapes; more like exhaust vents than sinks and they're curved in two directions. They'd be problematic to cast. I agree with you largely. but turns out the powder thats was near the laser gets affected by the heat and if you pour it back in you get all sorts of additional material oddities in the next part.
Idk why you would make 3D printed heat sinks... probably because you have too much money but ok it works fine in any application where you dont need structural material properties.
