Looks like the business is doing very well.
Off topic?
I don't think so, Materialise is producing for a number of competitors of GE.
Pyropowder would be a very welcome addition to their business model.

Thks TheCleos, very informative.
I own some stocks.
latest news:http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20171026005641/en/Proto-Labs-Reports-Record-Revenue-Net-Income
Anybody in Proto Labs?
You mean the price per share Chaka?
Nobody knows but imo Pyro is a puppy of a new breed; a breed smarter than a fox, stronger than a bear and faster than a cheetah.
Serious:
An excellent company with three strong growing pilars.
My focus is on the spherical metal powders for AM, and the growing demand for these powders.
For what I hear and see, the demand is growing fastly. Probably within five years five times the demand of this moment.
AP&C is accountable for 70% of the world supply.
AP&C is owned by GE.
here is a list of aircraft engine producers:
Pratt & Whitney
Boeing
Bombardier
MTU Aero
Bristol Siddeley
Lycoming engines
Superior Air parts
Dassault Systemes
All of them are printing titanium parts.
Siemens is printing titanium parts
GKN is printing, SKF is printing, BMW is printing....
I know, Asia and China are boosting the AM markets
Finally Flanker, and a second shift for max production
It is called mesh size, mentioned is the smallest and the largest size of the particles in the batch

THKS Tom,
In my believe you did a fair valuation of the spinn-of, and when you are wright, what is the reason for this new division?
In the past I have heard; we are not delivering these systems because within one year the systems are making more money than our profit of producing / selling these systems.
The latest system is an advanced system with better revenu / quality than the systems earlier delivered.
In the past AP&C / Arcam was free to supply any customer.
We are are now living in a different era; companies like Siemens or Alcoa are looking for securities in supply, would like to have multiple suppliers, or even own one.
So: I believe this spinn-of is worth double of what you calculated for these big AM companies.
This is what I expected.
In about 8 months all systems will be operational.
I do not think there is a need for an emission because the first build system is fully operational and can finance the building of the new ones.
It is about the difference in size of the particles that are delivered.
When you order particles with a size of a quarter of a milimeter, and with a tolerance of 4% bigger or smaller, and that is 90% of the orders received for the company, than all other sized particles are waste.
When you are able to produce more product with the particle size and tolerance needed for AM, than you are the producer with bigger benefit over all.
It is all about the "sweets spot" in particle size.
In the past the production of particles were from a wide variety of size, and only the smallest particles are used in AM.
Most of the produced particles (bigger particles) had to be reprocessed to wire.
And that is the big improvement Pyro has made for the system.
This improvement of the system can raise the saleable production with 20 / 30 / 40%?
Most powders used in AM have specifications of -45µm/+15µm, and they are the most expensive
see press release oct 25 2016:
A. Most certainly. Last year alone, we invested approximately CAD 2MM into improvements in
both production rate and particle size distribution. In other words, by increasing the amount of
powder we can produce per hour, and the amount of powder that is within the “sweet spot”
used in Additive Manufacturing. These improvements were in fact the very reason we decided
to strategically move away from selling powder production systems and decide to enter into the
powder producing market ourselves.
I am in also in Ballard Power

THKS Flanker100
At the Arcam board we were discussing what the next best investment would be for the AM sector, and you suggested Pyro.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=125080900
I did some investigation and decided to go for it.
I bought at an average of 0,26 , about 70% of my porto was Pyro.
Until now.
I sold most of it at 0,97
Thks man!
I expect Pyro will go for a "HPQ"-deal with a company like Alcoa or Siemens
What about Siemens, Airbus, Boeing, SKF, Alcoa,etc.
Pyrogenesis is doing exceptionally well in more than one market.
In my opinion the company is in other hands within a year.

Powder supply for GE and others.
In my believe powder supply in AM for aviation will be the next barrier for companies like GE.
AP&C has doubled the production over the last two years, and will build a new factory within two years, etc.
GE will install 100 AM Systems yoy for the next 5,6 ,7 years
What will other turbine producers need?
And that's only aviation?!
Most of the titanium powder used by AM systems is produced by plasma atomization.
All operational systems at AP&C are build by Pyrogenesis.
Pyrogenesis did not sell the last ordered systems, they have decided to start a new business; selling their own powder.
In my believe GE has made a new definition for AM:
Add any company that will keep you ahead in the race of the new industrial revolution.
Anybody in Pyrogenesis?
aceofbase, exactly my opinion.
And don't forget GE has more knowledge than all other competitors in the AM business.
Fate gives me a lot of faith
I'm not selling any Arcam share.
I bet next moth we will hear they ordered 50 new systems for this year, and a reservation for another 50
:))
Suppose GE is buying 30% of the total shares now.
A year later they are free to make another offer to collect more share against a new price.
This has no effect on the price paid for the earlier bought shares
true?

I totally agree Tamhas, and I am doing the same.
RE:Stock research.
The main problem with use of renewable energy is energy storage.
For example big windfarms and solarfarms need a big energy storage system for downtime in energy supply.
Lots of companies are are in search for the best solution.
In my opinion systems like the "Redox Flow Battery" have the best chance to win this battle.(energy efficiency of 80%)
Thyssenkrupp is almost ready.

Electro Power systems uses hydrogen for energy storage (energy efficiency 35%)

Don't wanna loose you guys!
The Arcam experience is going to end soon, but I do not want to loose the posters on this board.
We have learned and shared so much so I am hoping we can find a shared interest for the future.
As you have seen, I am very interested "advanced production" "the new factory"
"digitally based advanced products" "generative design" etc.
Some call it the new industrial revolution (IR4)
I am open to any suggestion that will give me the possibility to talk to you (all posters) about new investments.
To stimulate your mind, one interesting picture. companies:
General Electro
Autodesk
Freni Brembo
Cisco
Siemens
SAP
pdb2, I totally share your vision.

Materialise?
materialise is an excellent company, especially in software for orthopedical implants, and the production of it.
I am also invested in AM3D (German), take a look at that company too (SLM 500 multi laser printer),

I believe we understand a lot more about the progress of am in aviation than most stockholders.
We see that, and so does GE, P%W, Boeing, Siemens, DDD etc.
I expect there will be a lot of big companies waiting to eat this little mouse.
Don be surprised when the stockprice will tumble, it will be a bumpy road smile

Industrial revolution 4.0
Posted in the Netherlands, on a forum for investors.
Mostly in Dutch, but most of the links are in English
I believe we are at the crossroad of IR 4.0, and companies like GE are showing us the way.
