There has been considerable discussion on the board recently about the probability of SGLB being acquired by GE. I believe that there is very little liklihood of GE (or anyone else) acquiring SGLB. The reason is that SGLB has a close and special relationship with Los Alamos Labs (both because of being founded by Lab personnel) and because of their status as a wholy independent research lab. If GE were to acquire them I am almost certain that the Lab would not grant GE the same sort of access to their applied research as they do to SGLB as an independent entity. This continued access is the lifeblood of SGLB and I simply can't see them taking any actions that would diminish that access. Under the current relationship with the Lab there is almost certain to be follow-on products from the Lab to Printrite3D. It's hard for me to visualize the Lab giving access to future products to a single large manufacturer.
