I disagree and I'm betting my money on it. GE is spending millions at facility in Auburn to ramp up production of 3D printed fuel nozzles. I ask you would GE do that if they weren't sure they had a process to mfg FAA certified parts? I think not.
GEs Steve Rengers says:

"Monitoring quality throughout the entire build process is crucial, since it can take days or weeks to print a part, depending on its complexity. “We are really pushing the envelope on process monitoring,” Rengers says. “By using sensors to collect data, we can determine the mechanical properties of the part.”

will PR3D roll out coincide with commencement of equipt installation at Auburn?

"Equipment installation is expected to begin later this year, with production of the fuel nozzles starting next year. By the end of 2015, the plant could have up to 10 printing machines with the potential to grow to more than 50.
