"In 2016, GE will enter a new jet engine into service called the CFM LEAP—the first in GE’s line to incorporate 3D-printed parts. Specifically, it will be a combustion component that would not be possible to make using conventional processes." - See more at: http://www.ideaslaboratory.com/2013/09/27/christine-furstoss-adding-the-next-layer-to-additive-manufacturing/#sthash.IjiekW87.dpuf

Yes, I think Sigma Labs has a good chance- maybe better than 50%? of being acquired by GE. The reality is, GE has been able to speed productions times on the LEAP by as much as 25% due to the technology patented by SGLB. This isn't hype. It's a fact stated by GE Aviation just a few months ago:

"Today, post-build inspection procedures account for as much as 25 percent of the time required to produce an additively manufactured engine component," said Greg Morris, GE Aviation's business development leader for additive manufacturing. "By conducting those inspection procedures while the component is being built, GE Aviation and Sigma labs will expedite production rates for GE's additive manufactured engine components like the LEAP fuel nozzle."
