Thanks for the link. Sigma Labs, mentioned by name on page 5

GE will install 19 fuel nozzles into each LEAP jet engine manufactured by
CFM International, which is a joint venture between GE and France’s
Snecma. CFM has orders for 6000 LEAPs.

Lighter in weight – the weight of these nozzles will be 25% lighter than
its predecessor part.

Simpler design – reduced the number of brazes and welds from 25 to
just five.

New design features – more intricate cooling pathways and support
ligaments will result in 5X higher durability vs. conventional
manufacturing.

"Today, post-build inspection procedures account for as much as 25
percent of the time required to produce an additively manufactured
engine component," said Greg Morris, GE Aviation's business
development leader for additive manufacturing. "By conducting those
inspection procedures while the component is being built, GE Aviation
and Sigma labs will expedite production rates for GE's additive manufactured engine components like the LEAP fuel nozzle.”
