NIST and importance and value of AM data.
NIST/CRADA/Sigma Labs
"In 20 years from now, if somebody says, 'Oh man, I wish they had measured this,' or some new technique is invented that gives much better data than we can take today, they can go buy the SRM and tie it in to all the research we've already done," Simonds said. "So it kind of future-proofs what we're doing."

I'm going out on a limb, which I generally never do, but I'm going to say something with Materialise or SLM is coming soon.
I lot of noise within the industry seem to be putting sigma into a software platform or another OEM.
Would be nice to see sigma sign with a new player....I'd also take an update from the current ones lol.

Looks like they sold those 500k shares yesterday which would raise our valuation back in compliance with Nasdaq via either cash or raising stockholder equity.
Back to the waiting game, however with DARPA recognizing Sigma Labs compliance with certifications for AM parts, we can continue to rest easy and wait for the industry to catch up
The hype is over, realization is set it.
The companies that have invested hundreds of millions into AM need to produce a ROI. To do that, they need to be able to rapid prototype parts, or mass produce parts.
They need Sigma.

Sigma Labs PrintRite3D® Software Is Shown to Ensure Process Consistency and Product Quality in DARPA-Sponsored Open Manufacturing Program With Honeywell Aerospace
Research Study Validates Use of In-Process Quality Assurance in Metal Additive Manufacturing
Findings Help to Advance Widescale Industrialization of Metal Additive Manufacturing
SANTA FE, N.M., April 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Technology developed by Sigma Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGLB) (“Sigma Labs” or the “Company”), a provider of quality assurance software under the PrintRite3D® brand, has been shown to ensure process consistency and product quality in metal additive manufacturing, according to a research study sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) Open Manufacturing Program and conducted in tandem with Honeywell Aerospace at Honeywell’s Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Center. Details of the study were recently published in the journal Integrating Materials and Manufacturing Innovation.
John Rice, CEO of Sigma Labs, said, “Obtaining this third-party validation of the value of PrintRite3D® in metal additive manufacturing is one of the company’s most important milestones. Our six-year research with Honeywell and the DARPA Open Manufacturing Program specifically demonstrates that the analysis of the Thermal Emission Density (TED™) metric made possible by our technology can play a critical role in ensuring quality in industrial additive manufacturing of metal parts. DARPA’s conclusion that Sigma’s technology can be used as the compliance means for certifications and/or certification of components of 3D metal parts has, we believe, significant positive implications not only for Sigma, but for the industry as a whole, to advance the wide-scale industrialization of metal additive manufacturing. These findings further enhance the potential value to industry stakeholders of our technology, which will be exhibited at the Rapid + TCT additive manufacturing conference in Detroit next month.”
The paper, titled “LPBF [Laser Powder Bed Fusion] Right the First Time—the Right Mix Between Modeling and Experiments,” discusses the validation involved in manufacturing a challenging metal component. Sensors were used to develop TED™ as an in-process quality metric that could be used to monitor the quality of the component, with respect to porosity, as it was being built. The research paper concludes: “This work has demonstrated that a combination of physics-based modeling and experimental verification and validation can enable early-stage identification and elimination of potential problems. The build was directly successful and component testing confirmed achievement of the targeted porosity, geometric accuracy, and mechanical strength of the printed material. It has shown that the qualification framework presented here can be used as the compliance means for certifications and/or certification of components.”
Sigma Labs initially contracted to work with Honeywell Aerospace in 2014 as part of DARPA’s Open Manufacturing Program, with the additional phase of the project awarded in 2016. DARPA created this program to lower the cost and speed of the delivery of high-quality manufactured goods with predictable performance. Specifically, the program’s goal is to develop an Integrated Computational Material Engineering framework to accurately predict the properties of metal components produced using additive manufacturing.

Oldie but goodie :)
Processing parameters have
been shown to influence the microstructure, geometric structure and mechanical properties of direct laser deposition structures (Qiu et al., 2015b).“Machine manufacturers recognise that in-process monitoring is a key area
for development”(Participant 10).
“In simple terms, a layer by layer
green-red light system is required indicating, good powder, good spread
and good fusion with no defects”(Participant 8). In turn, informative and
accurate in-process monitoring, will lead to robust quality statistics.
The PrintRite3D®technology (Sigma Labs Inc., Santa Fe, New
Mexico, USA) gives an example of the current industrial standard. Optical
monitoring detects deviations of the geometry of the build from a
reference gold standard image, up to a resolution of 100
µm in-plane
(Sigma Labs, 2017).

I don't think it's any worry to have any employee that's capable to be involved in writing or publishing papers at this stage of the company.
Sigma has been doing fantastic at employing extremely valuable assets. These are professionals who are very educated and constantly on the cutting edge of technology.
GE saw an opportunity to create an extremely similar software using acoustics. GE was deeply informed on the AM industry, having purchased Morris Technologies, who also happened to work with Sigma before getting bought out.
GE went on to purchase 2 more printer OEMs, and the story continues...
GE doing what they did was a rare occurrence...GE is kinda a scumbag company...still currently paying off the DoJ for their past "errors" that were so close to breaking the law they had to pay off the DoJ without anyone getting criminally charged.
They knew they'd be competing with other companies who discover Sigma-like technology.
Since Sigma was already in contract with Honeywell, DARPA, and other DoD entities, there was no way GE (or any individual entity) was going to purchase them out right.
Now we've seen GE continue to do their own thing, and perhaps their acoustic will be enough to certify parts as Sigmas does.
However, it is clear Sigma working directly with NIST is pretty clear their version will be acceptable as well.
With Sigma maintaining their ability to be machine agnostic, and able to compete on the open market, the opportunity for growth remains at full capacity.
With patents being secured, and continued studies and projects being completed, Sigma has already formed their position in the industry.
As everyone pushes towards mass production, IPQA will be the best option, or at the very least compete with the other leaders in the industry.
As the company states and as far as my research goes, Sigma Labs is the only company with real time closed loop in process quality assurance.
I think this capability alone with be enough to put Sigma Labs in the top tier of software companies in the AM field, within their quality assurance niche.
Our work with other platform software companies makes Sigma and interesting and valuable fit into the process software.

I've been saying how important our government contracts will be for quite some time now.
The only speculation I can make, is that these obligations have been holding sigma and their whole one printer up.
As Mark Cola stated in many conference calls, when you have a government contract, they can basically tell you how you can and can't use your own equipment.
When you're in contract with the government, they have very very strict regulations so they get very exact results from the experiment.
I would speculate the DARPA and USAF programs have both helped Sigma grow, and also potentially held them back from participating in the open market.
As we head towards standards, working directly with another government entity in NIST, I think we may see the payoff once standards are set and more papers like this, showing Sigma can help generate quality parts within the guidelines of the industry standards.
It is speculation, but I've been stating for years how important and valuable our government contracts are.
For a company as small as Sigma to have as many government contracts involved with multiple DoD entities and DoC NIST, would infer Sigma had something special.
Based on my research and the evidence Sigma continues to release with every study, collaboration, and contract...I believe they have something special too.

I had the opportunity to speak with a handful of 3DSystems engineers and software techs at a conference awhile back.
They admitted they only had the capability to observe the data, and send it to the cloud, and allow the end user to do what they want with that data.
About the same of what most OEMs are capable of doing. Installing sensors that collect data, and not much else.
This is where Sigma Labs creates value.
Creating actionable data in real time, and most recently, developing a closed loop solution, with no human interaction necessary to complete a quality print.
Sigma Labs continued work to correlate in-situ data to CT properties to prove the validity of a part puts them further ahead of the game.
Sigma continues to prove the data their software not only collects, but also gives the end user the opportunity to interact with and correlate that data to a quality part in real time, is what separates them from everyone else.
Like the company continues to state, they are the only company that they know of to accomplish the closed loop capabilities they have accomplished.
In my research, that remains true as well.
Sigmas software is backed by decades of research and continues to lead the market.

Renishaw is still studying the effects of multi-laser process also...
And they've had multiple lasers for awhile...
Just now investigating the effects on part quality
White paper: Multi-laser processing strategies for high-integrity
component manufacture
Summary
Multi-laser AM machines with full laser overlap offer productivity and quality advantages compared to zonal laser
arrangements. However, multiple overlapping lasers can
interact and, under certain circumstances, this interaction
can adversely affect part quality.
Laser interactions are distance-related: the effect is minimal
when lasers are working close together, but large downwind
separations are to be avoided. Proximity pays when using
multiple lasers.
Using this knowledge, we can derive rules for laser assignment that enable us to build high-integrity components
in a productive and flexible manner.

Last paragraph summarizing the advancements touches on so many vital parts of the AM process
Sigma Labs’ methodology identifies the thermal signatures of printed metal material (the melt pool) while the part is being manufactured. **First to market to be able to actually be able to analyze in real time and advancing to real time, closed loop control**
This methodology maps any flaws in real time.
*** Specific thermal signatures can also be used to optimize part design.***
--using data to improve design and process
The identification and mapping of thermal signatures using Sigma’s methodology and CT testing furthers the understanding of flaw detection,
*** reduces risk in parts that are not CT-inspected***
--companies are not required to CT scan every part.... however, if they want to ensure the quality of their part...it is pretty much necessary, but very time consuming and expensive. IPQA would save an extraordinary amount of time and therefore money.
***and together provide a more complete picture of discontinuities in the part and what conditions during the manufacturing process lead to their formation.***
--identifying not only the conditions of the MELT POOL, but also the conditions of all measurable PROCESSES during a print.
This is looking at so much more than any currently available quality assurance, while simultaneously being much more time efficient and accurate as opposed to anything else available on the market.
Standards meeting upcoming week,

I agree it would close much quicker than I thought, at a very minimal discount...
Still trading well above book value at the moment, not sure if I would pay this big of a premium at the moment, before the next earnings report.
But, on the optimistic side, the industry has been really driving forward so far this year.
Us trade regulations in proving has given companies the opportunity to thrive, also with additional money going into the Department of defense, infrastructure, and otherwise oh, many companies are spending a lot of money to implement a lot of new business.
Everything is expanding like crazy right now.
Boeing union machinists just signed a new contract not too long ago...
A lot of companies with a lot of money to spend are realising now is the time to spend it with interest rates rising and debt becoming very unpopular.
Standards meeting coming soon at the end of March.
If you noticed, the types of speakers and presentations at various additive manufacturing events, they are becoming less and less technical, which shows the more technical side has been solved oh, and everyone is moving towards production. A lot of the presentations are about production and processes and setting up factories and protecting data and other various downstream finishing touches.
Very exciting going forward as things are beginning to snowball within the entire industry.
Dilution is never a "good" thing for investors.
Makes more shares available hence making previous shares less valuable, unless the price rises, which is highly unlikely to occur unless combined with good news.
Sigma has been steady with their burn rate, and with the increase in personnel and continued development of the technology, it has been pretty impressive imo.
I've been waiting for this (without having to contact IR, lol) as it was clear via the ERs that sigma was out of cash.
I was happy to see each share came with only 30% of a warrant. Not as bad as the BOGO offer last time.
Small amount can sometimes be a sign the company expects revenues soon, or also simply the company going after what they know they can raise.
A quick 2 mil will solidify the remainder of the year. ...I'm hoping we hear news far before then... perhaps this month.
Standards coming, aerospace and defense markets making a strong comeback along with power and energy, gas and oil.

He already has connected sigma labs with the Department of defense, US air Force, u.s. Navy, n i s t, America makes, Honeywell, GE, Siemens, additive Industries, 3D Sim ANSYS, Materialise, caterpillar, aerojet rocketdyne... And I'm sure I've missed a few.
It's only a matter of time before the am industry catches up to this technology and even with multiple governing bodies looking at creating standards that include in process quality assurance, it is far more likely that the technology Sigma Labs possesses will be used and many of these entities and companies additive manufacturing processes.
He would be a fool to sit around and twiddle his thumbs while he has already completed the hard work and ingenuity and innovation that was required to get to this point.
Just as the people on this board are wasting their time talking about things that have already occurred and arguing back and forth over things that they don't even understand.
Once the patents and the contracts with significant entities were completed, that was all that is necessary.
Due diligence has been done by those intelligent enough to understand the value of it , and see the position that the company is in.

I believe Sigma Inside is a real possibility either with printer OEMs, or a technology based company.
We've seen all sorts of 3D CAD and Simulation companies thrive lately, with some even being acquired by much larger companies.
I think Sigma definitely has the opportunity to get out by a company like ANSYS, Materialise, Siemens NX, GE Predix, or any company looking into AI and prediction.
Sigmas tech can obviously be applied to the Additive manufacturing industry by reading the melt pool data....but, what else can this be applied to?...machine learning, AI, closed loop production solutions....
There's a lot of hype and opportunity in this sector.
Estimated size of the market continues to grow, significantly higher than our current Additive Manufacturing sector.
Sigma has continued to work with Honeywell past 2015, and I'm almost certain Sigma has been in Honeywell publications post 2015.
Additive Industries is a very small company.

I never said the increase was imminent.
but in all likelihood, an increase in value of the company is far more likely than a decrease long-term.
Which is why I said I thought the $4 price Target was high, and the $2 price Target was much more reasonable if not a little high itself.
I agree they need to raise money, and it will probably be done sooner rather than later unless such significant sales are reported that provide enough cash to be a profitable solution opposed to diluting.
But I agree, that is probably unlikely.
We will probably see a pop and the dilution around the 1 to $2 range based on our current valuation and everything going on within the industry...
A lot of mergers and acquisitions occurred already this year.... Many on the technology side of things...
Sigma Labs has the capability to pursue either route, growing the company organically, or if the price is right and the partners right, look into a merger and acquisition, which happens to be what John Rice is a professional at doing.
Seeing as he diverted a majority of his pay to share ownership opposed to cash up front, it is in his best interest to get the highest amount of money he can for this company in the shortest amount of time.
Glta
SGLB
I agree. These are all things we already can all agree are factual, but as far as a profit generating business goes, there is no evidence the company will be profitable (hence, increasing shareholder value) in the near term (within a few quarters, or even fiscal 2019.
However, all signs and company strategy, IP, business operations, personnel acquisition, marketing strategy, Additive Manufacturing industry in which the company operates, and otherwise, all point to show that the company eventually will be very profitable.
Based on the technology and the industry and the current low valuation, an increase in value per share is more likely than a significant decrease over time.
If we're at the same valuation of less in 2H2019 and beyond, I'd say it's time re-evaluate.
Personally, I agree with the current $2 price target, and think a $4 target is plausible for 2020 and beyond (besides news pops).
As of now, I think we are at a fair valuation... perhaps even a little high.
Generally, these investment firms just keep moving the target date further and further into the ether if the company doesn't hit their estimates.
I agree this is most likely Dawson's sales pitch....we all know and have seen the reality of these types of write ups....
However again, I do agree that an increase in value is much more likely than a significant decrease.
Too many big names on the agenda.
Great tech, great industry.

GE doesn't control the entire market.
if lucky, even a company their size will account for 5-10% of the market at best.
Plenty of billions to go around.
Believing this irrational fear that GE will destroy SGLB in any way is unreasonable, especially as our worldwide footprint continues to grow as well as patents being accepted and published in the US and beyond.
Of course GE has more capabilities because they have enough cash and assets to fund anything they want.
That doesn't make sigma's patented technology any more or less valuable.

That's why sigma labs stays connected internally in America with the DoD, DoE, NAVAIR, NAVSEA, USAF, etc.
Regardless of whether foreign countries have similar technologies or not, America will still have their own that was made right here from one of their originally nationally funded entities.
Seeing as America runs on the capitalism system, they have put into place the opportunity for these type of technologies to be commercialized by private companies so the money is made and eventually returned as tax dollars, since no foreign country would want the US government printing 3d parts for their fighter jets.
Sigma Labs tech is still light-years ahead of the competition both in the years taken both in Los Alamos and privately to progress the software, and in the funding both at Los Alamos and privately.
Sigma Labs is already working on the next step while our competitors world wide are trying to catch up to where we where 6 months ago.
Keep your eyes open.

To qualify a part made with additive, “you’ll go through the process of qualifying your material and writing your material [specifications] for whatever material you’re going to use,” she said. “Then you have to qualify your machine and make sure it’s producing repeatable parts, and then qualify the process for the part that you’re building, because you’ll have likely different parameter sets for your different geometries for the different parts [that] you’re going to build.
