The last half of the article:

The corporation is developing its Center for Additive Technology Advancement near Pittsburgh to make it a “customer experience center,” or CEC, where existing and prospective customers can experience firsthand GE’s advanced manufacturing forays into 3-D printing. The center would also be used to encourage additive manufacturing processes across GE’s corporate portfolio.

“We are thrilled to expand our concept of customer centers in the United States with a facility already at the leading edge of additive technology development,” says Robert Griggs, general manager of the customer experience centers for GE Additive.

Additive manufacturing uses materials such as metal or plastic to build a part from the ground up. The technology uses a 3-D printer that reads a digital design and produces the component layer-by-layer.

GE has invested $1.5 billion into additive manufacturing technologies, developed additive applications across six of its businesses, created new-services applications across the company, and earned 346 patents for powder metals used in the additive manufacturing process, the company says.
