Arcam has and is expanding its powder capacity markedly. It can handle its EBM printer needs as well as competitor needs and now GE has locked in that supply.

On another front, remember over one year ago, all the analysts and media were a twitter over HP and its 3d printer, saying it would take over the market and kill all competitors. Well one year later, that printer does not exist and how do these pundits think about GE locking up the only EBM OEM printer manufacturer and one of the hottest sexiest laser 3d printer OEM manufacturer. With the ge money and clout, and its position in the manufacturing industry, GE has a much better chance of locking up the sector than HP ever had Remember the HP proposed printer has not been tried or proven itself, it does not print metal and GE arguably has a lot more money, clout and actually uses the printers in its own manufacturing. Who has and is tying up the 3d printer market better, GE or HP. I bet on GE and all the competitors that plan on using 3d must be quaking in their boots as GE ties up not only the OEM metal printing market but also a large part of the titantium powder market. That could lead to some antitrust and competitor angst and attempts to derail the deal
