Agreed, I think the design of Sturdy lugs lends itself to minimum post-processing.
As-printed finish will cut build times.
Finish on Quirk and Prova lugs above require more artizan attention.
If you look at what the lugs come out of the printer looking like, it'll take time/money to get them up to the silky smooth finish that most punters expect from a custom frame

Agreed - I think that AM has the potential to enhance the artizan appeal of custom bikes rather than reduce it....
If you look at this seat lug by Rob Quirk it's nicer than what you'd expect on a custom TIG welded road bike....
