I know that GE is not currently utilizing PrintRite3D at Auburn; however, GE is still in low-rate production. I believe that PrintRite3D will kick in as GE moves to high-rate production based on the cost savings that PrintRite3D will provide. I see the whole DARPA ICME framework for rapid qualification fitting right in with GE's process. GE is utilizing the ICME process just like our recent Pratt&Whitney commercial customer. I see them utilizing the ICME rapid qualification framework to meet their high production needs; especially now that we are in Phase 3.

The ICME framework for rapid qualification is what I believe AM customers are looking for and I believe it will be a process suggested to utilize by AM standards bodies. The America Makes project for the development of IPQA to address the industry's need for a commercial solution has concluded and I'm betting the results will address the AM industry need for our PrintRite3D product. The ICME framework for rapid qualification has entered into Phase 3 (the commercial phase);thus, the established framework is ready for primetime. We are just waiting for contract announcements and a standard body to give the greenlight. The dots have lined up and LONGS are starting to see the plan come together and to support my belief that standard's bodies will adopt please see page 26 in this FAA presentation. Choo Choo!! Good Luck All!
