To those following the 3D printing space closely, these numbers may not come as a surprise. Most industry experts agree that the high growth niche for 3D printing is in industrial manufacturing of high grade metal parts for aerospace, defense, medical/prosthetic implant markets. These are markets in which Arcam's Electron Beam Melting (EBM) technology is perfectly suited (see interview with Arcam AB CEO: http://3dprintingstocks.com/arcam-ab-ceo/ ).
