Oil and Gas Embraces 3D printing

Not too much us SGLB followers didnt already know, but nice validation that it is all still going ahead full steam.

Highlights

While GE’s initial investment in its oil and gas division’s metal nozzle production is still considered a pilot project, the company fully expects to begin producing end-use parts no later than 2015.

Currently, the company is in the throes of integrating additive manufacturing technology into the production of fuel nozzles for its CMF Leap jet engines, a move that further supports the notion that any oil and gas test program is likely to be a success.

Suggesting that in the very near future, fully mature DMLS systems might be an indispensable tool for advanced design and product development.
