The concept of Printrite3D® INSPECT® is to monitor the part build while certifying the process to form the baseline part. The software creates a "fingerprint" of the data for each layer of the build with a 1M fold reduction in size (raw data can also retained). They use this monitoring to create a reference (master) part for that machine. As subsequent parts are built, if a layer has defects, that layers abstracted data will not match the master "fingerprint"; indicating a suspect layer. This information gathering is achieved with off the shelf sensors so by applying the "fingerprint" concept to other sensors that measure plastic manufacturing etc. the technology is machine agnostic and should be portable to other materials.
The value of INSPECT® is in mass production runs. It's easy to see why sales could take some time, since the industry is only beginning to move from prototyping to mass production, but those sales will come.
If you haven't watched this classic, this should be considered required viewing for anyone with an interest in Sigma Labs...especially for the 2 minutes starting at about 19:30
With that in mind, know that In Process Quality Assurance® is a registered trademark of SGLB and they have patents for melt pool monitoring. Below is an article that discusses GE's use of what I have just described above.

This is significant in that it allows them to reduce post build x-ray testing on 66% of parts.
For more info, Round3r put together a great summary of supporting documnets that is a great place to begin further DD here:

Nothing has changed with this company. Only fear and a few impatient cold feet. SGLB has money in the bank and are solvent for the foreseeable future. Also, they have an additional revenue stream in producing contract parts that has just launched.
IMO...we're SAFE at worst, and FAT at best
Cheers!
