If they are suggesting that they're using traditional forge methods by applying pressure with a "hammer and anvil" type apparatus, I do not see how they can apply this easily to complex geometries, especially hollow ones like the fuel nozzles. HIP applies pressure equally in all directions so near net shape isn't affected, or if it is, NNS is affected very little.
