EBM is just as good as cast in many of the articles I have read....

Parts produced with EBM are near-net shape like those made with metal casting processes. Since the electron beam fully melts the titanium, the liquefied metal conforms to the surrounding metal powder, which yields a surface finish similar to a precision sand casting. So, some light secondary machining or grinding may be required.
