The material is called 'green ceramic'. It is very easy to machine, but then it is fired in a kiln and becomes a ceramic, able to pump, steam or fuel and air mixtures at high temperatures.

Absolutely Great machine and software you have there.

What material were you machining here?

It took 4 hours to make an aluminum one. Cutting it from Stainless will take longer, depending on required surface finish.
How fast can you cut it? Be realistic please.

Look extremely unrealistic !! How many hours took to make the aluminum one ?? and what will take to do the same out of a solid block of stainless ??

A production Impeller is usually a cast item using wax plugs to form the cavity in a sand mold.

Obviously it's much more expensive to do impeller 'production' using billets and cnc.
