Boeing 777x is powered by GE Aviation's latest engine technology that is more fuel efficient and lower in emissions, the GE9X engine.

The GE9X engine incorporates AM technology that improves on engine development:

“We’re looking at the aircraft and we’re certainly interested,” Willie Walsh, chief executive officer of British Airways...

With a growing demand for the GE9X engine, AM processes would certain need to keep in pace with production. GE needs to build  more than 85,000 fuel nozzles using AM technology and this is no easy task given the current speeds of AM and lack of efficiency:

This is the reason Sigma Labs has been enlisted and it is their IPQA technology that will increase efficiency and production. Sigma Labs continues working with GE Aviation and their continued collaboration, supported by funding from America Makes to develop and independent IPQA platform, will allow the high-volume production that is lacking in the aerospace industry.
