Thanks for sharing. I noticed that SLM just had their single largest customer order to date of 50 machines versus their previous largest contract of ten. This would definitely seem to indicate that the AM industry is ready to move in mass production. Interesting to note that this was from a customer in China.
I like this from Honeywell
“As of today, the FAA has given
approval for three parts to fly in
commercial applications,” Godfrey
stated. “Honeywell has a strong
Space and Defense Group and there
are AM parts being used for these
applications. Honeywell already
has one part in space on a satellite
launched last year. In rolling out
the production of AM components,
Honeywell has taken the approach
to print non-life-critical engine
components. These types of
components lower the barrier of
acceptance from our customers
and the FAA. Honeywell will have at
least four components qualified by
the end of 2017 but there is a high
probability it will most likely be six
components. The number qualified
for flight should be expected, at
a minimum, to double every year
for the next few years, meaning
that by 2019 we could be looking at
twenty-four types of components in
production, increasing to nearly one
hundred by 2021.”
I believe SGLB will be the "Intel Inside"
