AvioAero(GE) - Laser machines in the University

Wonder when Avio will fill a university lab with EBM machines. All things considered, I suppose that I like the EBM machines in full commercial production of aerospace components rather than in a university lab. But...

At Avio Aero's magazineabout.com - Laser machines in the University - SEP 2017

The introduction:

It's not difficult to get to the Turin Additive Lab. You just have to make your way to the Politecnico in Turin, and right there, next to the Officine Grandi Riparazioni (OGR), you'll find the place where Avio Aero is inventing the aviation components of the future born. The entrance is that of the Politecnico Campus, close to the very first laboratory founded by the Avio Aero in partnership with the Polytechnic of Turin, the Great Lab. The latter was founded in 2008 to develop eco-compatible technologies for new-generation civil aviation engines.

But the TAL is something different, it combines design and experimentation for innovation. The laboratory started to operate in May 2017, hosting machines which use 3D metal printing technology to combine virtual and experimental HW experience for innovation. These are 3 DMLM (Direct Metal Laser Melting) machines, soon to be joined by 2 more machines built by Concept Laser, the GE Additive company which specializes in DMLM. Avio Aero and Turin Politecnico decided to open this new research center dedicated to additive manufacturing in order to exploit the business's industrial and engineering competencies, and combine them with the University's expertise in materials and additive technologies research.

The first 30 seconds of the video are about Avio's sucessful use of EBM in the series production at the Cameri plant "fully dedicated to low pressure turbine blades for the GE9X engine".
