Arcam CEO Magnus René Discusses Industrialization of the EBM Process, On the Heels of GE Announcement 3D Printing Processes
In the aftermath of GE Aviation’s announced $1.4 billion acquisition of Arcam AB and SLM Solutions), investors showed confidence in the two metal 3D printer manufacturers and – as was to be expected – remained somewhat skeptical as to the short and medium term benefits of this deal for GE, with the stock losing a few percentage points in the immediate aftermath of the announcement (to then recuperate most of the lost ground, though). One reason for investor skepticism is the potential for EBM and SLM technologies to become a fully industrialized process. 3D Printing Business Directory caught up with Arcam CEO Magnus René to learn more about the short and medium term potential off EBM technology and what it can do for the ever so important aerospace and medical industries.
