Hi, everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster.

There's one long-time poster on this board, I cannot recall which, who likes to put the puzzle pieces together. Although, assuming too much can be detrimental, we know that given GE's penchant for following the 6 Sigma protocol, I would believe by now, it would be too late for them to turn back now from 1. incorporating the 3D printed fuel nozzles into the design of the LEAP and 2. discounting PrintRite3D as a substantial component in the manufacture of the nozzle.

GE began design of the LEAP engine in 2008 and expects to begin fulfilling current orders in 2017. So we are clearly beyond the half way point in this entire endeavour.

Here are the puzzle pieces:
SGLB begins advertising for additional PrintRite3D support personnel Feb. 2014
GE announces a new LEAP engine manufacturing facility for Indiana Mar. 2014
INSPECT launch Q3 2014
DEFORM launch Q1 2015
Indiana facility online 2016
LEAP engines 2017

Additionally, we continue to see growing advertisement for GE's new LEAP engine. Which, to me, tells me that they are committed to building it at this point.

I was at the movies yesterday with my son and a commercial comes on the screen (prior to the previews). You don't really know what the commercial is about, just some kid narrating, telling the audience how his dad does so many different things. At one point, the kid says that his dad can build things using the printer on his desk. At this time, the screen shows (all CGI, of course) a giant 3D printer building a turbine engine. Finally, at the end of the commercial, the kid says, "My dad works for GE." Man, it took everything I had not to jump up and shout, "Whoo hoo!"

Feel free to correct any information above. I am long SGLB.
