GE's manufacturing credibility, expertise, and resources are likely to narrow the gap between 3D printing primarily being used a prototyping technology today and becoming a more viable manufacturing solution in the future.

Strike the words "likely" and "narrow" and replace them with "certain" and "close" and we have a more accurate big picture. This author, Steve Heller, ignited my disdain for TMF articles about technology when during an video interview he said, approximately, that EBM would loose to laser because one had to chisel away the TiAl powder from the newly made part and that wasn't a problem with laser builds. One really should understand the technology better before writing about it. The video no longer exists on TMF website. Sorry.

Should 3D Systems and Stratasys Worry About General Electric's 3D Printing Ambitions?
