RE:Pyro History

RE:Pyro HistoryThank you Hilbertk,
for me it was very interesting reading. I did not know the history from the start of the company. Again thanks.
But I have a small correction to: 

 "Argueably GE has access to any engineers they would like but they bought the Plasma Atomization tech, they didn't create it. This makes it very hard for them to improve or invent their own process. Instead they bought Arcam as that was cheaper than starting their own plasma R&D and creating their own plasma process."

This is only halfway true, because GE bought Arcam because of the 3-D printing knowhow in Arcam. At the same time GE got the 
Plasma Atomization tech.  But the reason was the 3-D printing expertise. The proof of that is that GE originally tried to buy SLM Solutions but the stock owners did not want to sell, so instead GE turned to Arcam for the 3-D printing technology. 

Thank you for the interesting history of the PYR company, this is only a small correction.
