A method of additively manufacturing a part includes placing a standardized blank in a recess within a baseplate, forming the part by successively applying material to the standardized blank, and removing the standardized blank with the applied material from the recess. The successively applied material is at least one of mechanically secured to the standardized blank and chemically secured to the standardized blank such that standardized blank is a feature of the part. The material can be successively applied to the insert by melting and solidifying a metal material onto the standardized blank using at least one of extrusion, selective laser melting, binder jetting, material jetting, directed energy deposition, and sheet lamination, and the standardized blank manages heat during successively applying material to the standardized blank.
