I have to modify my conclusion in my previous post (5990) after reviewing this video. GE acquired Avio Aero is committed to the 3D manufacture and repair of ti-al turbine blades using Arcam electron beam machines.
GE seeks to improve the economics of ti 3D manufacturing through a joint venture with Allegheny Technologies Incorporated, stock symbol ATI.
Looks like, from the video, Greg Morris is leading the laser melting group. There are three sections in the article below, "The Fuel Nozzle," "The Turbo Prop," "The Formation of GE Additive," and "The Future of AM under GE Additive." A statement culled from the last section, but I think we all already agree-
“We’re at the dawn, not the day or the dusk, of where this technology is going to go. I applaud GE for taking the steps they have to get involved vertically as they have in the industry. GE, along with some other very good companies, are going to help make this a very neat industry as we move forward,” Morris concluded."
