3 The Technology
10
Metal based 3D printing is for industrial applications –
direct part manufacturing
11
Leading industrial companies see the potential of
metal based 3D printing
GE quotes:
“By 2020 GE Aviation will manufacture
more than 100,000 additive parts for
the leap in GE9X engines.”
“In the next 5 years we will invest more

than 3.5 billion US$ in new equipment to
produce advanced components.”
“Complexity comes for free”
“Additive manufacturing is just a great

game changer!”
