Jackle, Thanks much for this post. This definitely helps provide a timeline for anticipated sales. I completely overlooked this DD as I've been tracking GE and when full scale production is scheduled to start. I like to track AM industry news as a way of cross checking Mark's decisions. I've been impressed so far as SGLB is tracking with what AM industry says they need. I'm anticipating that GE will be ready for PrintRite3D by year end as the Leap engine production will finally start to ramp up as they will need more and more fuel nozzles each month to meet LEAP engine demand. The first two LEAP engines were just delivered April 2nd of this year. That is only 38 fuel nozzles which fits with low scale production and not mass production; thus, PrintRite3D not really needed to for big costs saving but as those numbers start to go up well... PrintRite3D sales here we come.
Safran is on schedule at least for now to produce 100 LEAP engines so 1900 fuel nozzles by year end and in 2017 should be 500 LEAP engines which is 9500 fuel nozzles. I'm thinking GE will be reaching that tipping point by year end. I have not been tracking Honeywell AM mass production anyone else been tracking where they are? Good Luck Longs!

CFM is about to start production of a new, more fuel-efficient engine called the Leap that will be the exclusive product on updated versions of the 737. It will also go on some of the upgraded A320 models.

CFM International (Villaroche, France) reports that it delivered the first two production LEAP-1A engines to Airbus on April 2, two days ahead of schedule. This delivery of the composites-intensive engines paves the way for installation on the first customer aircraft and for entry into service by mid-year. The name of the initial LEAP/A320neo delivery customer will be disclosed at a later date.

Speaking at a handover ceremony for the first non-test version of the engine in Toulouse, Safran engines chief Olivier Andries said output was on target and that CFM would produce 100 LEAP engines this year and 500 next year. The engine would be introduced with six airlines this year.
