Trader, see you fear more bogey men for Arcam You sure post a lot about your trades and the bogey men you fear

Bottom line Trader to ease your fears, so far no competition on the EBM front and it appears EBM is doing just fine, the EBM train has not left the station.

And to be more accurate it appears that all of the major aircaft engines, except the LEAP, are having problems causing buyers to cancel aircaft buys. The PW on the airbus and now the rolls royce engine. Only one which has had no problems so far is the LEAP which despite all those posts of yours that the LEAP train has left the station, it looks like arcam will have a part, a fact that you now admit. Maybe rather than seeing bogey men at every turn, you should just watch as arcam makes progess. Now I would have liked more sales at the last Er, but so far things do look good with new parts being developed and positive articles in the aviation and medical sectors.

And maybe you should stop seeing mergers at every turn as well You've been posting about arcam merging for over a year which I have negated. Fist why would arcam merge with any company as it has a growing EBM field to itself. Second, after all the money the EU has given to arcam, why would they allow merging. Third, why would any company want to merge with arcam for the price it would demand when it can get the benefits by just buying a printer. You really think GE, which is primarily laser and already bought one 3d company wants to buy arcam?. Same with Alcoa which is playing both ebm and laser and why take on the risks and demands of the arcam play when it can simply buy and experiment with individual printers.

Think of the logic before you fall in love with mergers and fear bogey men. Every new competitor and technology is not a death threat to Arcam. For a small company arcam is progessing just fine, albeit slower than we all would like.
