Anyone, please post if you see an outstanding, or even mediocre, additive company that's publicly traded. I'm not seeing much.
Adoption into areas of manufacturing other than aerospace and medical seems to be at a snail's pace.
For now, GE still looks like one of the few major users of metal additive machines for production end use components - and it's publicly traded. In virtually all of the recent corporate news about GE, additive isn't even a footnote anymore. It's been totally eclipsed by just about everything else they have going on. Mainstream GE shareholders couldn't care less about additive.
Three year trends for SLM Solutions and Voxeljet.
It's been horrifying to watch GE lately.
GE's going to grow the additive business on it's own? To show customers how to do it benefitting from GE's famed research and engineering? GE knows how to keep things no more complicated than they need to be.
