They are allowed to pursue contracts.
In the pursuit of those contracts, they can quote and prepare materials for a purchase.
They are allowed to operate their business, without reporting on day to day activities that are included in daily operations, such as pricing, quoting, performing evaluations, without reporting it.
Until the contract to purchase the product is signed, nothing is reported, however a lot is going on.
So, that 6 week lead time, could be 5 weeks deep right now, and we could hear news next week. *IM NOT SAYING IT IS*. All I'm saying is that to assume the nearest deal is 6 weeks away and that the company has nothing in the pipeline is just impossible to state.
To say that the company doesn't already have materials to create a handful of units is impossible to say.
So again, fact over opinion and fiction

They can't legally state the business of other companies.
I personally went to them and inquired about there technologies and quality assurance software.
I came to the conclusion, like many other researchers, scientists, and industry professionals including ASTM and NIST, that Sigma Labs has the best IPQA technology in the industry, and the value, based on the multitude of advantages of the software, integrated into the AM software market, could exponentially increase the valuation of the company over time.
None of it was a random guess.
Guessing doesn't answer any questions before the answer is known.
You make statements that are sometimes possible based on opinion.
I make statements that are always plausible based on fact.
There's a big difference
They can only legally say so much.
Ie. They couldn't say that Sigma Labs tech is the standard for printer and process certification.
By doing DD and talking with industry professionals, it was safe to say that Sigma Labs was a leader in ipqa and could cover all the grounds necessary for mass production including passing the standards requirements.
Now : standards released and multiple webinars with a variety of industry professionals including ASTM and NIST describing how SGLB tech can verify the AM process and printers and potentially each individual part.
Hm.
Seems like due diligence and correlation of facts really pulled it all together this time.
Random guesses really didn't help here at all...weird...
Do DD
Glta
I'll let you try that sentence again after you let those last remaining brain cells cool down.
Reporting facts is not speculation.
I don't add color.
I add more facts of industry activity that directly correlate with the function of the company.
Do DD
Glta
Never said he's keeping secrets...no contracts are announced until they are complete and signed.
Guessing that one is not happening til next year bc of a random budget assumption and claiming the ceo is incompetent is a skewed way of evaluating any situation.
Poor DD
Stop guessing and
Do real DD
Glta
Reporting facts is not being hopeful, it's just reporting facts.
Guessing whether or not a company has contracts or the lead time of those contracts is just speculation.
I never have guessed on a contract or timing or a contract, I simply report on findings and documents that prove the correlation exists.
Not by opinion, but by actual documentation.
There's a big difference
Do DD
Glta
Pure speculation, you have no clue when companies fiscal year and funding begins or ends.
Many companies fiscal year ends in the middle of the calendar year.
Funding can be done at any point in time.
Pure speculation that no contracts are being pursued because it's the end of the calendar year and everyone is just waiting for next year.
Makes no sense
Do DD
Glta
Pure speculation, you have no clue about our current contracts or those who have inquired and have gone thru the many avenues available to test and evaluate Sigma software.
This would negate the 6 week lead time if a customer has already inquired and evaluated the software.
A contract is only signed and announced once the terms have been agreed upon, a contract would not be announced during the 6 week lead time while the companies are still in discussion.
So this idea that any contract is 6 weeks out at all times is nonsense.
Do DD
Glta
Tldr.
You don't know how many contracts are already weeks or longer into the 6 week lead.
All speculation by you as always.
No facts
No DD
Just guesswork and failure
Do DD
Glta
Absolute speculation, with absolutely no proof or idea of what Sigma has in the pipeline as far as contracts at all whatsoever, no clue as to the timeline for parts and materials currently, so this entire idea is nothingness just like every past one shared.
Laughable as usual.
Good comic relief.

Then how have I been profitable on my SGLB investment a majority of my time, holding the same stock?
I was a little too eager my first purchase.
Took awhile to average down...I believe until the beginning of 2017 and then eventually was able to go green and have been since.
The company continues to perform well and has made the necessary moves to hold value while doing extremely extensive R&D and progressing their technology while simultaneously working and collaborating with the leaders of the industry.
If any strange things or bad moves occur, I'll call them out the same way I do positive ones...
I just haven't seen any negatives that are noteworthy, nor have any substance to back them up, like other companies or researchers agreeing with the negatives.
Thus far, all I've seen in the industry is growing understanding of quality assurance, and the standards in agreeance that machines must be properly calibrated and monitored that they operate correctly.
Do DD
Glta
How is selling a portion of my shares when the company sees a 50% gain taking advantage of others?
I still believe the value of the company will increase over time and I stand by that.
If the PPS outgrows the valuation, which it eventually will, I'll be posting how I'm selling and not buying until it drops back down to reasonable levels.
I don't advise anyone to copy me, as I don't do that.
I hope people understand not to take buy and sell advice from anyone who's not professionally certified to do so.
I'm sorry you lost money making bad decisions.
I invest in SGLB and have made money, so idk what to tell you other than learn better investing strategies other than buy and hold.
Do DD
Glta
And again...how did "I" blow it by simply reporting on the findings of scientists, engineers, and top companies in the field?
Do you wanna call the NIST, ASTM, and Renishaw reps from the last webinar that they blew it too?
Do you wanna call the DMG Mori reps from that webinar and tell them they blew it
Additive industries?
Baker Hughes?
Airbus?
Woodward?
I mean you got a laundry list of people to call and complain about your poor decisions

Then how have I made profit while simultaneously adding more shares.
I'm in the green, pocketed money, and have more shares.
How is that messing up?
Others had the same opportunities as me.
Don't be mad at me if you're not a successful investor.
I can't help you there
Do DD
Glta
First off, I don't "pump" the stock.
I report the findings of the scientists and researchers in the field of AM who have extensively studied and applied quality assurance tests and evaluations.
I report on the activities of companies in the AM market and their publicly available information regarding their R&D and application of quality assurance systems in AM.
I report on findings of entities like NIST and ASTM, discussing what I can without breaking copyright policies with confidential information.
I never give buy or sell recommendations.
I look at the market valuation and compare it against the assets the company holds.
I never advise people to invest in any particular way.
Over the years, we've seen the PPS fluctuate on many occasions.
Anyone who was a bag holder could have easily made moves to negate their losses.
Based on my research over the years, some of which I've shared here, I firmly believe Sigma Labs tech has a significant future in the AM software market.
Over the years, I've continuously made profits, while also increasing my number of held shares.
I hope that everyone here was able to do something positive as well, as it couldn't possibly be in my interest for anyone to fail, as I simply don't care whether they do or not.
I can't be faulted for the actions of others, especially when I never advised them to do anything.
It's amazing the amount of hatred I've received on this page for doing nothing more than sharing my findings the same way others do.
I don't understand it.
Just bc they purchased at a different valuation, or missed a trading opportunity, they blame me for the company PPS not exponentially increasing.
They're mad at themselves and have to take it out somewhere..I get it...
If there was negative news to post, I'd post it.
If the standards didn't fit what sigma Labs tech is capable of detecting...I'd post it.
If fortune 500 companies and international OEMs weren't buying, testing, hosting webinars and public meetings, and conferences about quality assurance and sigma Labs tech, I'd have nothing to post.
But that's not the case.
Do you know how many NIST/ASTM conferences I've been to?
Do you know how many AM expos I've been to?
Do you know how many meetings I've had with OEMs discussing their quality assurance systems?
I was on the ground floor researching this topic for years.
Doing real research, discussing AM technologies with the scientists and engineers that use them every day.
From that experience, I think Sigma Labs has a future in AM and is on a great track.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Doesn't have to be called, just understanding when sitting on a 5% gain when standards are getting released, might just wanna do DD and see which direction the standards are pointing.
This time they were strongly pointing towards the need for 3rd party validation for specific parameters and machine output...all of whi h Sigma is capable of detecting which they have explained with every new contract, as the OEMs and partners they continue to sign have also agreed and referenced on several occasions.

Agreed! Made for some great moves no matter what position any holder may be in.

Great things ahead for AM.
The industry is seeing a second wave of excitement after a long period of moving the technology from idea to industrialization.
Now that the global economy seems ready to open back up hopefully the sector as a whole continues to grow.

I've seen other companies make mistakes.
None of which had a similar foothold in IP in an up and coming industry and holding contracts with as many fortune 500 companies and multiple OEM agreements in hand.
Many had much less with personnel with worse track records.
All had more sense than town crier
Glta
A post that doesn't understand the reasoning for an NDA prior to the Materialise deal getting signed to incorporate Sigma tech into their Build Processor.
An interesting outlook,
To quote,
""Currently, we’re under an NDA with the company.” Total BS every other company that works with these companies are able to announce or publicize what is happening. How many times is Sigma going to push NDA. I believe this is the 6th big deal covered by NDA, the other 5 never materialized, no pun intended. Funny thing is I used to be one of their biggest defenders about the NDAs, they’ve played it one too many times.""
Nothing came from them NDAs huh ..lol...just Materialise and Baker Hughes...no biggie though
Better get a hobby bub.

So sad when the argument the company is failing while simultaneously signing profitable contracts with reputable companies
Somehow all these contracts mean company is failing? Not sure how but that's the argument
Well, Sigma continues to acquire new customers, multiple signing on for multiple contracts as the software progresses
Switches argument to yeah but the software isn't great...
Well, multiple fortune 500 companies, multiple large scale Printer OEMs, arguably the largest AM software company beg to differ...
Switches argument well the CEO is trash..
Well, no, he has a history of profitable buyouts, mergers, OEM licensing...
Ok but he's just collecting a paycheck..
Well, no, he just agreed to acquire shares over the next 3 years, so he's definitely in the best interest of seeing the company do well.
Ok but but....I wonder what the next turkey call will be.
All got the same treatment as the turkey in one fatal swoop.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone :)
Not being the ceo of a company and agreeing to 3 years of shares lmao
That's not an "oops" type of situation.
Long time professional board member/CEO/investor/negotiated multiple OEM agreements/profitable buyouts of multiple companies.
This is these guy's careers, livelihood, professional competency...they don't make 3 year mistakes.
Learn from them.
Do DD
Yeah cuz that's what a lot of super smart investors do especially when they are employed by a company...let me sign a contract where my shares are installed over 3 years, and then continue working for a company I don't believe will increase in value.
So therefore I'd be losing so much money I'd be working for free by the time my three years is up...
No.
This is a strong signal that the CEO believes in the continued growth of the company, so much so, that he's willing to bet 3 years into the future that the company will still be accruing value on the price he is essentially paying for his shares.
Look up Ruports history dude. He's smarter than you and knows what he's doing and knows when he's acquiring something of value.
Do DD
Glta
Right...only contracts with a handful of fortune 500 companies and multiple OEMs advertising "PR3D ready" and one of the largest AM software companies placing PR3D in their Build processor.
Talk about a stretch
In the latest webinar with NIST and ASTM, the Renishaw rep stated that OEMs are going to have to "play ball" with software companies like Sigma Labs.
The Renishaw rep wasn't speaking for just Renishaw...he was referring to ALL OEMs and anyone using AM printers for production.
Just like the computer industry when it needed 3rd party operating software and programs, the AM industry is going to need outside validation that their printers are running correctly.
The standard clearly states everything that needs to be captured and tested for validation of each printer.
Sigma Labs tech can capture all the required data along with all the other capabilities of providing inspection for each part.
Serial production is necessary for anyone with an AM printer to achieve profitability in any production capacity.
Currently, PR3D and PR3D lite are the most advanced software in the industry that is machine agnostic and capable of this task.
Sigma inside
Do DD
Glta
Exactly, EVERYONE needs to certify the process and printer...not 10%.
100%.
Machine agnostic
3rd party
Able to be properly validated
Sigmas tech is fully capable of covering all the ground in the ASTM standard you haven't read yet.
Not everyone needs to ipqa every single part, however it has proven time and time again to be highly beneficial in reducing scrap and ensuring quality on high end parts.
So, based on the company's needs, they will need to figure out a way to certify the machines and process...aka PR3D lite ...or certify the machines, process, parameters, parts, machine learning, serial production, eventual closed loop control...aka PR3D.
Not 10%.
Sigma inside, high margins.
Do DD
Glta
Who's they?
No one, especially one with a position in the company is attempting to get the PPS to move up by simply buying shares. That's market manipulation, you're making accusations about.
I'm certain the decision to acquire shares is based upon the belief in the future growth of the company and not based on short term market manipulation.
Do DD
They do discuss financials per unit and projections per project.
Gotta listen in on the quarterly sometime
Do DD
Except you've been saying no one would want it at all when actually both sides of the fence do.
So, wrong again
Only customers who want readings of their printers hardware output thermal signals and not of extremely detailed 3d images and algorithmic analysis of every part, as the former is necessary for certification of the process and machines, and the latter is not required by standards organizations.
I agree it is important people listen to simple concepts, as long as it's not filtered thru an incapable processing unit.
Do DD
Glta.
Woah, a price increase and and expectation in the number of short positions increasing?
What a crazy prediction that would be if that wasn't exactly how shorting has always been done since the beginning of the concept came to existence.
