DWOL,

I have a couple theories.
One: Materialise gets contract with GE with PrintRite3D built-in.

Why?

We know that Materialise is working on that intergration of PrintRite 3D

We know that GE has at least 35 EOS and Arcam printers.

We know that Materialise developed build processors for EOS and Arcam recently

Two: Additive Industries gets GE contract as they are planning release of their Metal Fab in the 4th quarter this year.

I had a thought about this as I recall GE waiting on development of new printers.

Existing printers just aren’t efficient enough to meet that demand, and GE would have to buy 60 to 70 expensive machines to achieve its targets, Morris said. Instead, the company awaits development of new printers that may have three to four times the capacity, Morris said

2) Remember when Additive Industires gave that award to Greg Morris earlier this year?

On Thursday April 24th, GE Aviation’s Andrew Martin received on behalf of Greg Morris the Additive World Award for the best industrial application for their additively manufactured fuel nozzle for the new Leap engine. With this fuel nozzle they have had an important impact on the worldwide acceptance of additive manufacturing as a reliable technology for critical functional parts. The Additive World Award was given to Greg Morris as the representative and lead of the Additive Lean Lab, Additive Development Center, and the Fuel Nozzle Design Team.

Greg Morris is fully aware of the capabilities of Metal Fab1 and it works with the open supply chain concept.

The MetalFab1

has been developed with an open and modular architecture, meaning that it can be used with several different materials and that new modules can be added to allow the use of multiple materials in one machine, without having to clean the powder system and running the risk of cross-contamination

Could MetalFab1 with PrintRite 3D be coming to a GE factory near us. Stay tuned.

Third theory: Is that Materialise is contracted for the older model printers that GE has and then Additive Industries for the new generation of metal printers that GE needs to increase AM production capacity.

It's awesome to do DD and dot connect but there's one thing that I do not have to dot connect. That is that Sigma Labs PrintRite3D WILL be incorporated into GE AM process. There is no doubt.

The mutually-developed inspection technology will verify the quality and geometry of additive components during the additive build process, increasing additive production speeds up to 25 percent in support of GE Aviation's growing production rates.

"Today, post-build inspection procedures account for as much as 25 percent of the time required to produce an additively manufactured engine component," said Greg Morris, GE Aviation's business development leader for additive manufacturing. "By conducting those inspection procedures while the component is being built, GE Aviation and Sigma labs will expedite production rates for GE's additive manufactured engine components like the LEAP fuel nozzle."
