Morf3D is already an up and running Service Bureau with the following in-house capabilities:

Full Life Cycle Solutions

Distinguishing Morf3D from the traditional Additive Manufacturing Service Bureaus, we extend our novel approach of “doing it with you” or “doing it for you”. Interested in seeing how the part was built? We’ll show you! Our goal and chief objective is to develop meaningful and collaborative partnerships to drive the adoption of Additive Manufacturing.

Our experienced engineers define the optimum processing parameters unique to each engineering design that depends on material, geometry, desired properties and tolerances. We offer the following Additive

Manufacturing processes:
Direct Metal Laser Sintering
Electron Beam Melting

And the following materials:
Aluminum – AlSi10mg
Titanium – Ti64
Inconel – 718 and 625
Stainless steel

Post Processing
Morf3D delivers Additive Manufactured parts that meet the highest geometric quality standards in the field. This is achieved through a selection of the following post-processing steps:

Support structure removal
Surface finishing
Hand polishing
Media blasting
Stress relieving (annealing)
Hot Isostatic Pressing

Component Quality Verification
A distinguishing feature of Morf3D’s vision is to deliver more than a shape that mimics a CAD file. Equally important to the geometric fidelity of the AM part fabricated is its material and mechanical quality. Morf3D’s team of expert engineers and material scientists verify the mechanical and material integrity of the AM component prior to delivery by performing a selection (dependent on the expected use of the component) of tests with coupons fabricated during the build that analyze and verify the following characteristics:

Hardness
Fatigue
Ultimate Tensile
Compression
Porosity

My read of the PR is that Morf3D will be offering manufacturing design solutions to their existing customers that include the use of PrintRite on their customer's AD machines "to provide a means for customers to increase AM production rates while ensuring consistent part quality." This means revenues to Sigma for PrintRite licenses.

The second part is the "in-house manufacturing of parts". It appears to me that Morf3D already has significant in-house manufacturing capabilities in their New Additive Manufacturing Innovation Center which was launched in Oct 2015.

Looks like at least 8 EOS machines.

Load up PrintRite and start fulfilling those contracts already in hand on Morf's machines and see the "substantial revenue for Sigma Labs in 2017".

Works for me.
