Tom, It produces a joint venture of the Swedish kind.

I wasn't being literal about the math. Each other stakeholder purchases shares as they see fit. No one company owns the majority.

AND, we (the smaller investors) exit at our own choice.

You got to be kidding 8 competing owners with different priorities and goals and all wanting to enhance their interests and kill their competitors. I cannot imagine them even picking the company leaders without fragmentation much less company policy and priorities. If capacity is taxed, who gets the printers fist and when. If different technology or tweeks are needed to get a product to market, whose gets the priority and funds. Come on, if there wee 8 or 9 owners they probably only would be as effective as Congress and I would not wish that on my worst enemy. At least GE as owner would focus arcam on one of the major manufactures adopting AM as their production choice.
