I agree. Those numbers are realistic and I believe they will be achieved as long as CFM believes that their ramp up of LEAP engine goals of 100 by EOY and 500 by next year are still achieveable. Indications from industry are just that. I'll continue to follow what AM industry leaders are doing and saying. My recollection is that CFM produced about 8 LEAP engines in the first half of this year. They have a plan to rapidly production and validate those fuel nozzles and other AM parts of the LEAP. I firmly believe that SGLB is part of that plan.

This will require a rapid ramp-up in production rates: around 100 engines are scheduled to be built this year, jumping to 500 in 2017 and 1,100 in 2018, heading for a target of 2,000 a year by 2020. Total LEAP orders have now exceeded 10,820.

“With a backlog of more than 13,700 engines, the biggest challenge we face over the next few years will be to produce the engines at record levels while maintaining the quality and reliability our customers expect,” CFMI president and CEO Jean-Paul Ebanga noted.
