“a $76 billion opportunity” for GE

At ge.com/reports - Printing The Future: What Additive Manufacturing Means For Innovation - Mar 11, 2018

The article talks about different kinds of AM and references several other articles. One of the first is about Kirk Rogers at GE - GE Executive Sees 3D Printing Market Surging - September 26, 2017. From that article:
GE (Boston) sees “a $76 billion opportunity” for additive manufacturing, Kirk Rogers, a 3D printing technology leader for the company, said at SME’s CMTS show outside Toronto.

Industries such as aerospace, oil and gas, medical and automotive are among the prime markets for additive, he said. At the same time, Rogers cautioned additive isn’t the answer to all manufacturing issues.

“Additive is the shining tool in the drawer,” Rogers said at the Tuesday keynote address for CMTS. “But don’t always pick it.” 3D printing, he said, “is not going to take over all of manufacturing.”

GE last year acquired majority stakes in Concept Laser and Arcam AB, part of a push to expand the Boston-based company’s additive manufacturing capabilities. GE plans to sell 10,000 3D printing machines over 10 years and expand additive into a $10 billion business for itself.

Rogers is based at GE’s Center for Additive Technology Advancement in Pittsburgh.

‘Fast Ride’
“We see growth across all areas,” Rogers said. “For GE, it’s been a very, very fast ride.”





It's odd that the third link shown is to a GE webpage, CFM LEAP aircraft engine (https://www.geglobalresearch.com/innovation/3d-printing-creates-new-parts-aircraft-engines), that seems to be lost.
