But still, every single printer sale in a competive market is a confirmation that there is a niche market for EBM in advanced metal production, and in many sectors.
No company spends that amount of money for a new production process if they do not have securities the new process will gain money for the company.
For example:
Stryker will buy 2 or three printers (to start with)
Airbus will buy five or more systems
Siemens, GKN, Pratt & W, Boeing, Alcoa, etc.
We are all waiting for FAStEBM, or LARGEEBM, it could make the difference, but still EBM has a well deserved spot in a niche market of AM
