How A Young Pilot Became A Top-Flight 3D-Printing Engineer
The article doesn't mention laser or electron beam technology but Mr. Mook worked on the additive fuel nozzel design team that used laser machines. The story is applicible for all additive technologies, metal and plastic.
Really like the video.

After graduating from Purdue University in 2005, he joined GE Aviation as an engineer at the GE unit’s headquarters in Cincinnati. His first big success came when he found a clever way to fix a blade durability problem in a jet engine high-pressure compressor. Mook’s solution was so good it took off and found applications inside machines made by other GE divisions, GE Power and GE Oil & Gas, which is now part of Baker Hughes, a GE Company.
Mook’s star kept rising, and in 2011, he won GE Aviation’s young engineer award thanks to his work on the blade and other problems. At the luncheon celebrating his success, Mohammad Ehteshami, then GE Aviation’s head of engineering, offered Mook the opportunity to join the design team trying to 3D print a fuel nozzle for a new jet engine. Never mind that Mook had no experience with combustion or fuel-injection systems or additive manufacturing, which includes 3D printing. “The way to motivate me is to tell me something can’t be done,” he says with a laugh.
Additive manufacturing methods like 3D printing build parts from the ground up, layer by layer, by fusing together metal powder or plastics. The technology is suitable for prototyping and custom production, but GE is also using it to make production parts that would be difficult to manufacture using traditional methods.

Josh Mook, Engineering Manager of Additive Technologies at GE Aviation, has always been interested in the mechanics behind the world. That explains why he's so passionate about Additive Manufacturing, a 3D printing process that creates complex parts, slice by slice, from a detailed digital design. With additive technology, Josh is reimagining the future of industrial design.
GE works on things that matter. The best people and the best technologies taking on the toughest challenges. Finding solutions in energy, health and home, transportation and finance. Building, powering, moving and curing the world. Not just imagining. Doing. GE works.
