The Customer Base

As the patented PrintRite3D technology is transitioning from developmental stages to commercialization, Sigma Labs is gaining more attention from big league industry leaders. On October 16-18, 2013, Sigma Labs' CEO Mark Cola participated on a panel for the Additive Aerospace Summit Conference. At this venue, Sigma Labs addressed the current challenges and opportunities in the metal AM industry to help accelerate the AM industry at a faster pace. Featured on Sigmalabsinc.com is a summary of the Summit Conference, which noted that among those present were General Electric, U.S. Navy, Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), AIRBUS SAS (EADS), Stratasys Ltd., National Aeronautics and Space Administration, The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA), as well as other prominent players within the 3D Printing market space. Many of the previously mentioned entities have already started integrating the use of metal AM technologies and have shown an interest in the PrintRite3D technology.

As further evidence of the demand for new quality control methods for safety-critical additive manufacturing, the US Navy’s Chief Scientist, W.E. Frazier, commented that the need for real-time quality monitoring and control is essential to achieving the Navy’s goals for additive manufacturing. This is precisely the technology that would be provided by our PrintRite3D® technology. There is currently a very limited supplier base providing high value-added, performance and safety critical metal parts including the OEM captive job shops. We believe that none are currently capable of addressing the issue of real-time quality control. Our PrintRite3D® is currently a market leader in this area.
