Siemens one of our customers
A technology has grown up

As I already explained in one of my last articles, we consider additive manufacturing to be one of the essential elements of the fourth industrial revolution. Over the last two years we’ve already seen some promising use cases for our own gas turbines for power generation and also for products for our industrial customers. To help more customers in the aerospace, automotive, and tooling industry benefit from the many advantages that AM brings, we decided to intensify our training, consulting, and engineering offerings for customers.
Turning customers into experts
Successful AM projects require an intensive collaboration and cooperation with customers. Therefore, we introduced training sessions that allow our customers to develop detailed process, material, and design expertise in order to become experts in the field of laser powder bed fusion. The training session, which is customized for every customer’s requirements, contains five modules:The first module is AM Fundamentals, the second is on Design Rules and Strategies for Laser Powder Bed Fusion, the third is on Materials and the Process, and the fourth is about AM component screening and the industrialization of AM. A training session on Software Solutions for AM as the fifth module completes the training course.
One of our first training sessions was with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA). The company runs an installed power plant capacity of more than 10 gigawatts and secures a reliable supply of power and water for the entire Emirate. DEWA is extremely interested and sees a huge potential for using AM parts in their assets to optimize their operations and reduce downtime and service costs. Their initial feedback was very positive, and we’re looking forward to successful future projects together.
Consulting and engineering
Another important way to advance the industrialization of additive manufacturing in other industries is our consulting service. Because AM is a relatively young technology, many companies don’t yet have experience with it and so they need an expert partner who understands their needs and can give them recommendations that enable them to optimally benefit from the use of AM. Our consulting portfolio covers the full AM value chain. To unleash the full potential of AM, you have to do it right from the first step to the last.
Our AM engineering support completes our portfolio. We have more than 40 design for AM experts, who support our external customers with their knowledge.
Series production
We also used this expertise already within our company for our H-class gas turbine. After successful testing and validation of 3D-printed main swirlers for the platform combustion system (PCS) of the SGT-8000H gas turbine in our Clean Energy Centre in Ludwigsfelde, Germany, we now produce thousands of AM-parts every year. The main swirler delivers fuel and thoroughly mixes the fuel and air prior to combustion. One big step forward was a part consolidation that allowed us to print parts, that originally consists of 10 separate pieces, in only one step.
Our goal is to help even customers develop new AM component designs. We also offer customers the opportunity to optimize their parts so they can take advantage of the end-to-end digital AM chain. For this we rely on our unique AM Material Database. Our overall goal is to enable companies to manage the full complexity of metal AM.
What do you think of our ideas for sharing our experience in additive manufacturing and guiding customers toward AM industrialization? Will this help advance the industrialization of AM? I’m looking forward to receiving your comments.
Nice rebound and most probably an unpredicted Summer rally without news...
>>> In street view you can see the building pretty well<<<
so you are still believing in those fake views...
>>>Influence was long before that. Normally he doesn’t need to become CEO to revive or fix a company. <<<
No, only CEO do have the power and responsibility...

German Connection
>>>Remember Sigma Labs cooperative agreement with Fraunhofer Research Institution for Additive Manufacturing Technologies and BMW was part of SGLB's Early Adopter Program and signed an NDA with SGLB. Would be amazing if SGLB is working on the IDAM project. I would not be surprised at what 's going on behind the scenes in Germany. Just imagining SGLB inside in this production process being evaluated by the VDA 6.3 standard. It would set up PRintRite3D very nicely as the closed loop is developed and becomes production ready. Printer agnostic gotta love it :)<<<
GetRich1day, sure it is only a question of time until all German machine OEM's will have Sigma Inside...
Sigma Labs and the market will tell us soon...
>>>It all sounds fantastic! If only the co would confirm what the hell they are doing.! <<<
Summertime
just relax have fun and believe...
Good luck RFB
>>>What did you all do?! Bottom just fell out! <<<
just think about that fall out and act...
Good luck wickw50
we will miss you...
>>>Obj ob, Maybe I will just for old time sake..... <<<
Good luck Z...
>>> If you want immediate results, attend the meeting. <<<
Which immediate results one can expect attending the meeting (insider news?)
I expect from JR to issue a clear letter to shareholders today.
I also expect that he confirms his promises regarding to:
expected sales, revenues, near future forecasts, etc
>>>All the investors will receive is “tomorrow we’ll be great”, at the shareholders meeting. <<<
This is exactly what I expect...
>>>EL Jefe42, All patents already surpassed by other companies and their better and patented technology. <<<
Can you tell us some real facts please...
>>>Looks like the industry has realized it doesn’t matter what happens during print with QA and moved back to post QA since the part can be damaged in post processing either when the part is removed from the supports required for printing or finishing the 20mm rough surface to a smoother surface. Only then can the part be certified. <<<
Sorry you have no idea about Sigma Labs Software...
>>>No need for what? DD, we’re told to that on this board all the time.
<<<
>>>That’s makes more than 6 post process post processing QA companies bought or merged in the last two years. Post processing seems to be the priority. <<<
>>>Sigma Labs very soon Inside and no need for that...

The acquisition greatly enhances Sintavia’s NDT capabilities for commercial aerospace applications, particularly with respect to surface finish conformance testing. Post-closing, it is expected that QC Labs will operate as a stand-alone subsidiary of Sintavia. Additional terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
>>>AM acquisitions, in this case QA testing looks like important to Global AM players...
>>>I'm gunna go with GE as the purchaser of Sigma. <<<
Not so sure as GE lost already the bidding for German SLM.
The main investor of SLM still do have a open case with the GE management.
Bidding war?

3D printing alone is no longer enough

The motivation for the guidebook was that the market environment has been changing in recent years, as Matthias Schmidt-Lehr, co-founder and managing director of Ampower, explains. »We talked to many companies which brought additive technologies into the company years ago because they wanted to be among the early adopters.« Often a concrete business strategy was lacking, »and the companies are trying to catch up now.«

>>>And no, often the infrastructure it was on, wasn’t in place yet, because it often only existed in the lab or at beta customers where we installed it<<<
tell us more about your story please...
>>>train, Don’t worry.... just a little dilution to keep the nightmare going.....
Sigma inside..... <<<
In Thailand we call fake news snake head news...
nobody will believe those people any more...
>>>This is meaningless speculation. Sigma could go bankrupt or go to $50+. The technology is priceless if they indeed have the best patent-protected IPQA software. <<<
PPS target is > $100 unchanged
>>>If it is a polished product, it would have made sales before it become Generally Available. <<<
You mix up something:
Before it become Generally Available it made first sales and need to be polished with the feedback of customers!!!
wickw50 5.0 is working nicely...
>>>The tech guys need to get this “universal” version of 5.0 working so that companies buy it.
But, we know that 5.0 isn’t universal....
