high-resolution EBM-printed titanium engine part printed in layers as thin as 20 or 40 microns. https://www.ge.com/additive/additive-manufacturing/information/3d-printing https://www.ge.com/additive/additive-manufacturing/information/3d-printing The last sentence of the The Key Differences section: A lower resolution 3D print fabricated from a sub-$1,000 desktop printer is very different from a smooth insert for an injection molding tool or a high-resolution EBM-printed titanium engine part printed in layers as thin as 20 or 40 microns. Don't remember seeing this. Did the http://www.hiresebm.eu/home/index.jsp HiRes EBM project funded by the EU help produce results like this? For reference - an August 01, 2013 engineering.com interview with Magnus René - https://www.engineering.com/3DPrinting/3DPrintingArticles/ArticleID/6101/QA-with-CEO-of-3D-Printing-Company-Arcam-AB.aspx Q&A with CEO of 3D Printing Company, Arcam AB Magnus René: Two research projects led by Arcam started the second half of 2011 and will last for two years, “Fast EBM” and “HiRes EBM”. The projects, which are financed by the EU through the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), are managed by Arcam and involve several leading research institutions and customers linked to Arcam. The financing totals about 20 MSEK and the project results will benefit Arcam's long-term development. Arcam leads and coordinates the two programs, and has secured the intellectual property rights in them. The Fast EBM project has the objective to develop EBM technology with much higher power than today’s systems while the objective of the HiRes EBM project is to develop technology for considerably higher resolution. The technology developed will be incorporated into future products from Arcam , but that is not part of the FP 7 programmes.
