Arcam AB fka AMAVF

My take on Arcam is that the EU is willing to spend millions of euros on research . All to benefit a small obscure company located on the periphery of the EU. A company with no known political connections. A company whose tech is well protected by patents and trade secrets. So the benefit of this research can only flow directly to Arcam. Unless all those RU scientists are useless, something substantial is going to result.

The underlying idea must be to promote EU aerospace industry indirectly. Because the EU and the US totally dominate commercial and military aircraft production. And the EU must keep up , so apparently they regard EBM as a core technology for the next generation of aircraft and jet engines .

The potential increase in EBM from the results of only the first project are mind boggling.

Fast EBM is completed but it will take several years to go from lab to mass production. The other two projects will show future benefits too.
