Here are a few of my reasons for this consideration.
1) The ICME framework is utilized by companies such as Alcoa, Ford, GE, etc.
a) Ford Motor, for example, is using ICME to reduce the time and cost of developing aluminum castings for engines.

b) ICME is being used by ALCOA, Dr. Ball noted, to
optimize the forging process, to predict process-induced bulk residual stresses, and to characterize intrinsic material properties

c) ICME is being used by GE, Lockheed Martin, Pratt and Whitney, Boeing and others.

2) The establishment of the Lightweight and Modern Metals Manufacturing Innovation (LM3I) Institute as part of the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI). The intent of the LM3I Institute is to bring together materials designers, materials suppliers, product designers, and manufacturers to collaborate on the design, production, and commercialization of affordable, manufacturable, lightweight systems.
Guess who is leading the LM3I?? Our friends EWI and of course they are utilizing ICME.

3) IPQA being built into the ICME framework work Rapid Qualification. See page 8 https://drc.libraries.uc.edu/bitstream/handle/2374.UC/745730/ISABE2015_CS%26A_Vinod%20Nangia_227_MANUSCRIPT_20139.pdf?sequence=2
Here's additional DD concerning ICME:

I am very confident that IPQA is built into the ICME framework as the DARPA Phase II ended successfully and SGLB is preparing for Phase 3. I think our involvement with Honeywell on the DARPA Open Manufacturing project definitely had something to do with changing our Deform to Contour. The point is that there is a heck of a lot of collaboration going on in industry to develop the blueprint to move AM from prototyping to production and ICME appears to be the framework. I believe that IPQA is smack in the middle of this collaboration and once the blueprint is finalized then PrintRite3D will sell Big Time as industry moves to AM production of critical metal parts. Good Luck Longs!
