Additive manufacturing is an undeniable part of the future of global industry, built on decades of research and innovation. Among the most obvious harbingers of AM to come has been the pace with which global giant GE has been expanding their use of the technology. We have followed as GE has embraced 3D printing in the production of end-use aerospace components and sought to become a larger and more direct player in the market with last year’s moves to acquire big names in metal additive manufacturing, culminating in acquiring controlling shares in Concept Laser and Arcam. The establishment of GE Additive, introduced at formnext 2016, has underscored the seriousness with which the company is approaching the industry, as well as its executives’ belief that AM represents a bright spot for future performance.
Key to the success of any AM endeavor is the quality of the materials in use. The best machinery can be rendered irrelevant if the materials input are not up to par, particularly where metal manufacturing is concerned. At the Additive Materials Lab at GE Global Research in Niskayuna, New York, a dedicated team are hard at work to ensure the development of not only the best materials, but the best processes to produce them. Built on concepts pioneered in the pharmaceutical industry, the Additive Materials Lab is working to study and understand combinations of materials and processes to optimize results for a broad variety of applications.

Remember this
Quote from Christine Furstoss, Director for Manufacturing and Materials Technologies at GE’s Global Research Center made on 9/27/2013:
Sigma Labs
“As an industry, we have to find ways to go faster. For all of the time you can save in the design phase, the actual printing or production of parts using additive technologies is still too slow. To help address this challenge, we have a joint technology development agreement with Sigma Labs Inc. to develop in-process inspection technologies of additive components with the goal of reducing production time up to 25%.”
We are Lock Step with GE! I love it!! Choo! Chooo! goes the Sigma train!
