Hawks023,

I certainly believe that GE will use PrintRite3D for the cost savings of using in-process monitoring versus the post processing that they currently do. GE's move to purchase SLM and Arcam means that they are now going to be building their own AM metal machines as opposed to just using them. A company that produces machines cannot be an independent certifier of their own machines. This is where Sigma Labs has a big advantage over many quality assurance solutions such as EOS which is offering quallity assurance for their machines. Just see Jackles post below. FAA and FDA type organizations will require independent certifiers. I just don't believe that GE would want to acquire SGLB because of the conflict of interest. Compliance with these rules is huge business. For example, The 2009 Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act (WSARA) forbids conflicts created by use of federal contractors as both advisors of support services and developers of major defense acquisition programs. This conflict of interest resulted in companies breaking up and new ones forming. SGLB has the long list of companies that signed NDA's because they understand that when FAA finally creates their AM standards that a third party certifier will be required plus that cost savings using PrintRite3D is very nice as well. I hope this helps. Good Luck.
