Original Abstract Submitted

A method of manufacturing is provided. During this method, a body is formed using an additive manufacturing process. The body includes a shaft, a bladed rotor and a support structure. The shaft projects axially along an axis out from the bladed rotor. The support structure projects radially out from the shaft and axially to the bladed rotor. The support structure includes a plurality of channels arranged circumferentially about the axis. Each of the channels projects radially into the support structure towards the axis and to a respective channel side. Each of the channels projects axially into the support structure towards the bladed rotor and to a respective channel end.
