What did Mohammed Ehteshami really say?

The wording is different in the two articles I could find. I hadn't read the 3dprint.com version until after the 3dprintingindustry.com quote was already posted. We should be used to this by now. Wait and see. Wait and see. Wait and see...

From Clare Scott at 3dprint.com - GE Additive Ups Focus on 3D Printing, Announces Opening of New Customer Experience Center in Germany -

A portion of the article:

By 2020, GE plans to turn GE Additive into a $1 billion external sales business. Since the acquisitions of Concept Laser and Arcam, GE has added more than 100 engineers around the world to support their products, Ehteshami said at the Materialise World Summit, and their goal is to sell 10,000 machines outside of GE, while GE uses 1,000 of them internally. Ehteshami also said that while he can’t release the details, either Arcam or Concept Laser will soon be introducing a 3D printer co-developed with GE to the market, and that it will be big – the build area will be measured in meters.



From Michael Petch at 3dprintingindustry.com - GE expands additive manufacturing capabilities, new metal 3D printer coming soon - APRIL 25, 2017

Ehteshami said that “very soon,” GE will bring a new 3D printer to market. Developed with the capabilities added from the acquisition of Concept Laser and Arcam, this metal 3D printer will be a powder bed fusion machine with a build size that can be measured in meters.
