I think just GE with leap fuel nozzle and a cover for a temperature sensor. Both FAA approved. But they are doing this with full post processing. And GE is seriously behind on the production of the jet engines. I have no idea if this is because of AM or because they over promised engines in a short time.

Nope, all projected to start mid to late this year for high end Aerospace, oil and gas, etc,

Many aerospace engines that use AM parts have not been certified and are still being investigated.

Many AM facilities only have a few amount of printers compared to what they need for mass production.

Many only have a hundred or so employees and slated to increase tremendously over the year thru 2020.

Many companies waiting on industry standards, similar to the one Sigma Labs just signed with NIST and previously signed with LZN.

It's no random "dot" Sigma Labs is involved in multiple standardization collaborations.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

>>>Any AM factories churning out finished goods on a grand scale yet? I’m looking and can’t find any.<<<

come on what about GE Additive, Honeywell, Siemens, Sintavia, Airbus APWorks, Liebherr, MTU, etc

Ok they all rely on CT scanning and other QA as it is reliable and proven especially for aerospace critical applications...

Everybody know that nobody take the risk of unproven technology especially for QA!

May be we can look for IPQA again in two to three years from now...

The question is can Sigma Labs survive?
