All Shook Up: From Elvis’ Car to Jet Engine Parts, 3D Printing Is Sweeping Manufacturing. This New GE Center Will Help Companies Catch Up. - Dec 5, 2017


“Our vision is very simple: We want to democratize manufacturing,” says Mohammad Ehteshami, who runs GE Additive, the GE business unit developing machines, materials and expertise for the nascent industry. The business has expanded from 560 people in late 2016 to 1,200 today, producing more than 500 printers per year. The new center is a key part of its drive to bring additive manufacturing into the mainstream. “Additive is so powerful that you either lead it or you get victimized by it,” Ehteshami says.

Hmmmmm. GE is taking the lead in additive manufacturing. How do thier competetors (competetors that GE wants to sell machines to) feel about GE's position?
