Who Said ? I for one...
We keep hearing about all the little new bits and pieces of work being done by Aerospace, Implants et al.., the article you site is a case in point... but where are the POs?
Arcam for the last 9 months (and I suspect for at least the next 3 mths) has been unable to sell more than 3 machines a month (2.6 actually).... 3 not 30.. not even 10 but less than 3... and the sales rate is LOWER than last year...and this is Worldwide across all industries and across all the players in all industries... Their total sales have only grown by 10% YOY and are still going to be under USD 100Mil again this year pathetic...peanuts...
And poor little DiSanto is still complaining (instead of doing something about it) about not being able to drum up enough business Worldwide just to offset the decline in their traditionally produced implants... which just leaves me speechless... DiSanto should be the tip of the spear, they should be experiencing growth before the manufacturing division does...they should be opening up new markets, showing the world how great EBM is and how new industries can use it... not sitting on their rear ends crying about why they can't just keep doing what they done for the past 10yrs...making implants the old fashion way..
Sorry, because I don't need to sell newspapers or articles in magazines I will tell you like it is... AM is moving at a Glacial pace... at least EBM is...
I really wonder it Mr. Rene hasn't been in bed with GE for a very long time now at the expense of really growing his business...
But hey, we always have next year (assuming GE doesn't take em out)
