Excellent find Jackle! Thanks for sharing this. It's continued confirmation of Sigma Lab's lead in AM quality assurance!
Wow! Hello! Loving it! Thanks for sharing your DD! SGLB is in the right place for AM mass production. It's nice to see our partners EOS machines offered right below as well!

Yes, I agree and when we tie that to FAA visiting SGLB last year. I see it as a very positive sign!
Yep, I agree with you and the additional authorized shares can be utilized to discourage a hostile takeover as well.
Just an FYI for those investors concerning some shorts

The Short and Distort: Stock Manipulation in a Bear Market
All I can really tell you is that based on the short attacks over the years. I believe there is an entity that wants either a) destroy SGLB shareholder value and thus destroy the company or b) destroy shareholder value and buyout SGLB. There are many companies that are attempting to do process control and it seems universally understood that SGLB does it the best so far. I believe that an entity probably wanted t to buyout SGLB and was turned down. That entity has been on the attack since it's a corporate Art of War.
I certainly wish I had a clear answer to prevent it. The only thing that can be done is for investors to hold the line when shorts attack but it takes a strong stomach to do so. The short strategy is to continue theri attack and break the spirit of those Long investors who have held. That's why it's important to understand what you hold and revisit why as an investor you brought in the first place. I continue to believe in the long term success of SGLB; thus, I'm here and have doubled down. Everyone has their own decisions to make. I wish all the best.
Remember why you are here is because you believe in the DD:

I appreciate that us Longs actually do the DD and know what we hold. Longs like you, KMey, jfray, DWOL, Hawks, silversmith, t&l, kanya, dadx4, jeff, herringaid, Z, critical and others. I do appreciate everyone who shares their DD.
Yep. The short strategy continues and the execution of this strategy is working. Short and try to drop it 10 percent. Many folks automatically sell on a ten percent loss. Express concern for the folks still holding on then bad mouth the company further. Rinse Repeat. Rinse Repeat. All the while sigma labs is in a stronger financial position than when on the OTC. SGLB actually has contracts. SGLB has institutional investors. SGLB is working with Honeywell and DARPA in Phase III with a stated goal of commercialization. Rocketdyne Aerojet is certifying AM rocket parts for the AirForce. Shorts still using the same Rinse and Repeat Strategy from the OTC and some investors are actually falling for it. It's a snowball rolling downhill effect. Well, I know that I'm here and not going anywhere. I know what I hold.
Agreed man! The rapidity in which sales will come may surprise a few. Just waiting for AM industry to get that blueprint down. Wish everyone understood what they hold here.
Agreed, at least we have institutions investing here now; thus, shaking the tree for shares is a little bit harder to do.
Shorts still working overtime.
I like these 3rd and 4th order relationships

Yep. We are working with Stryker.
Yes. Indeed!
The shorts are working overtime.
Yeah.. Same pattern and same format being followed time and again... I give it too them for sheer persistence... Some day it will be different but until then..
Thanks Jackle. That was a great post today. My confidence in SGLB is still high because they continue to make great moves with getting their software in the hands of these AM industry leaders. The fact that their 2.0 went to Woodward after the America Makes project was an indicator to me. The GE association is still strong with Woodward installing that 2.0 version. I believe that SGLB is viewed by the AM leaders as a very valid and credible choice to meeting stringent AM customer standards and allow a reduction of post processing to enable cost savings. The continued T&E is a very strong validation of the value of PrintRite3D.
You said it Jackle. Anyone who is doing the DD can see that the AM industry is not quite ready to for AM mass production of critical metallic parts. SGLB needs to continue improving on their product and working with AM industry leaders to meet their needs. FAA AM standards are coming next year and so is the DARPA Phase 3 completion. I believe that the AM standards development by next year will set the stage for AM industry to embrace mass production. The AM roadmap will be laid out and the way forward will be available for all to see. SGLB will be perfectly positioned to capture a great deal of business.
Thanks for posting T&L. It's nice to see them mentioned together in the same article. It's been awhile. It might raise awareness to new investors of the relationship that Boeing and Sigma Labs established five years ago.
Yes! Indeed! Very exciting news today!
Hmmm. Now if Siemens adopts SGLB for the In-process QA piece then we could be rolling.
Awesome find! Thanks KMey! SGLB is right in the middle of this.
Found whitepaper on GE Oil and Gas Supplier Requirements. I believe that SGLB will qualify nicely.
https://www.geoilandgas.com/sites/geog.dev.local/files/arsb-og-001_rev_4.0_final.pdf
I went back to reread the whitepaper about the DARPA ICME rapid qualification framework. This is the probalistic framework that DARPA has IPQA built right into it and we are in Phase 3 now with completion mid 2018. I'm betting AM standards from FAA will be out right around the time this Phase 3 is concluded. IPQA being part of this framework that saves time and money is a great thing for SGLB. I see many orders coming for this PrintRite3D in this framework next year. Here's a few quotes.

JJ, Thanks for weighing in. Your expert opinion is most welcome here. It's great to see you post again. I appreciated the call and explanation that you made on Additive Industries a couple years ago.
Agreed sir!
I would love to here Arcam refer to us as their partner. It would make my day!

ARCAM INCREASES SALES, MOVING THROUGH “CHALLENGING MARKET SITUATION”
I agree silversmith. I emailed IR the day after the report came out and asked Bret to let MC know that he should address the results of the America Makes report. Here's what I sent.
From our partners Spartacus3D See their customer list.
http://itp-forum.ru/upload/iblock/000a1/Spartacus3D_ITP-forum_2017_V2.pdf
Yes, indeed. I'm looking forward to the next few years here. I definitely believe pps will going up with those sales. I'm still feeling good about SGLB. Did you see this article?
Yep. I'm really starting to believe now that GE did attempt a buyout and MC said No! MC once said that they did not no how to value SGLB. Hmmmmmmm!! This would explain some observations over the years here. Anyway All IMHO!
