Tom, you have my attention...

From your article, which was pretty interesting, thanks for that...

"It’s worth noting that there are around 4,000 rib-feet on each A380."

But is there any indication these "rib feet" lend themselves to EBM production? Have any been made this way? Is there any interest in doing so?

There are a lot of parts on an airplane and if EBM could get to be the method of choice for a part where there are many hundreds per plane than this could hold as much potential as LPT Blades, but until such time that such a part is identified and certified and a business case for EBM is made, it is just hopeful thinking...

LPT blades are here and now, they are ready to fly and are the result of years of R&D and testing... and they have tremendous potential to drive machine sales for Arcam in the next year or two... unless CMCs come along and rain on our parade ...

Cheers
