C'mon guys... 610,000= just over $1200
Slapped @ .0019
Oh please do! That would be awesome. Doesn't sound like any of our other posters are going. Hopefully it'll be webcast or summarized though.
How does that check out if it takes years to get all the permitting, etc? I figured they would just adapt the Coronet mill to their needs.
So they're shooting for 2 mills long term?
One at Winemucca and this Liberty Mill?
I'm teaching a unit on the Revolution right now, so this parody made me chuckle. Nicely done. Any thoughts on today's price action?
SWEET! Husband going to conference in Pittsburgh:
http://www.programmaster.org/PM/PM.nsf/SessionSheetView?OpenForm&ParentUNID=5E906689DEA330B085257A8E0081D4AD
None of our guys going to be there directly, but lots of discussion on Additive, NIST exhibiting, along with Renishaw (who I believe was considered a competitor at one point?) Too many others to list.

He got the last spot from his department- just has to work it out with a couple of professors. Fingers crossed! Will report back what I hear.
How come FLPC doesn't do an "At the Market Offering" ? That allows them to pull the trigger themselves based on when it is most viable/ easily absorbed; also no ridiculous dilutive discount.
Why in the world did Sept 25 post after Oct 3? How odd.
What does the asterisk p 7 mean- "pre competitive technology development"?
Oh I know he's helping us tremendously. I just don't like it when he presents IPQA as 'ours' [as in GE's]. Frenemy? ;) I'm sure it'll pan out fine. The NIST/America Makes deal is really helpful IMO, for our long term prospects.
They should get Morris on the board. haha. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, and all that. [I like him ok as far as GE's concerned, but don't 100% trust the guy when it comes to us... ] Would be interesting... he's a business guy with clout at any rate.
Also- remember that posting awhile back, that First Liberty had purchased a crushing machine for milling purposes someone dug up on the machine-maker's site? Can't remember the name of the company but they had crushing and milling machines. It was in their headlines. So we may already have equipment.
Nice- forgot about that.
I'm excited about the news, but where are we getting the money? I thought we had very little cash on hand. Did I miss some financing news? Haven't been super focused on FLPC for the past couple months so it's entirely possible. Thanks!
Re: IPQA Trademark
Does this mean we have applied but it's not registered, since there's no registration #?
http://dearrichblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/live-dead-and-abandoned-trademarks-sup.html
The "Live" category has two subcategories: (1) If there is a serial number and no registration number, the application is active but not issued; or (2) if there is a registration number, the mark is active, valid, and federal trademark rights can be asserted.
1.7 Mil slap? This is nuts!
Look at all that short volume! http://otcshortreport.com/index.php?index=FLPC#.VCnotUseDwI
Gonna be some sad campers if this thing runs… We'll see what tomorrow brings I guess. Texted my friend, "They're coming back from the grave…"
Updated Message- talked to Bob; yes, typo.
Probably stupid question, but is that "$100,000K" (as in 100 million) or $100,000 ? [It would be phenomenally stupid to be $100 million but I've seen biotechs like that.] Scary typo.
Update: Just talked to Bob Reynolds. Super Nice btw. $100,000 even. They are working hard to finish this deal. Sounds really good.
lol
I am just mind blown at our recent developments. We talk about big contracts…. and now have an ATM option to get up to 25million? That's crazy. Assuming we get one, and some or all of the offering triggers... No idea how the share price would react to that. Yes, it's dilution, but if we theoretically had all that cash, wouldn't that also be something investors would react to positively? And think of what they could do with that. Just, wild.
Despite what the article said about Pratt and Whitney's skepticism… I know there was another article posted sometime over the summer with them talking about integrating AM more near-term. Also Vivek Dave is connected to them. Do I think it will happen EOY? No. But if the GE integration takes off, plus this America Makes project… I could see 1-3 years on P&W. IMO.
You're correct KMey- based on what I've been reading. "Thank you." :)
Curious what you mean by exit plan?
Share repurchase would be awesome lol… but in all seriousness I think this guy pegged it. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=106550443
So does this mean it's not an immediate offering, but the method of offering in the future? I read the whole thing (and at first sounded like an actual capital raise?) but the big bold letters say it's not finalized.
Also:
Approximate date of commencement of proposed sale to the public: From time to time after the effective date of this registration statement.
Someone PLEASE post what you're reading… I'm so confused.
Expecting what? I haven't gotten any notifications? SEC? Link? Please and thank you!
I'm not expecting sales til 2015… at least for GE, based on their own timelines. I would imagine they wouldn't get a fleet of PrintRites installed til after their new facilities were finished, but could be wrong.
Oh nice... I wonder if they went with the same price they gave GE? 825k+ ~500k= 1.325 million?
I'm thinking it's that missing revenue we were expecting, that got delayed due to the previously mentioned negotiations. Like didn't they just say a few weeks ago that the America Makes team only recently had their kickoff?
Stochastics say WAY oversold on every timeframe I've looked at. RSI getting there, short term MACD idk.
My husband says cladding has something to do with bonding together dissimilar metals…. which is one method of making these crazy alloys. Here's a wiki on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladding_(metalworking)
The powder used in laser cladding is normally of a metallic nature, and is injected into the system by either coaxial or lateral nozzles. The interaction of the metallic powder stream and the laser causes melting to occur, and is known as the melt pool. This is deposited onto a substrate; moving the substrate allows the melt pool to solidify and thus produces a track of solid metal. This is the most common technique, however some processes involve moving the laser/nozzle assembly over a stationary substrate to produce solidified tracks. The motion of the substrate is guided by a CAD system which interpolates solid objects into a set of tracks, thus producing the desired part at the end of the trajectory.
The different feeding systems available
A great deal of research is now being concentrated on developing automatic laser cladding machines. Many of the process parameters must be manually set, such as laser power, laser focal point, substrate velocity, powder injection rate, etc., and thus require the attention of a specialized technician to ensure proper results. However, many groups are focusing their attention on developing sensors to measure the process online. Such sensors monitor the clad's geometry (height and width of deposited track), metallurgical properties (such as the rate of solidification, and hence the final microstructure), and temperature information of both the immediate melt pool and its surrounding areas. With such sensors, control strategies are being designed such that constant observation from a technician is no longer required to produce a final product. Further research has been directed to forward processing where system parameters are developed around specific metallurgical properties for user defined applications (such as microstructure, internal stresses, delusion zone gradients, and clad contact angle).
Advantages[edit]
Best technique for coating any shape => increase life-time of wearing parts.
Particular dispositions for repairing parts (ideal if the mould of the part no longer exist or too long time needed for a new fabrication).
Most suited technique for graded material application.
Well adapted for near-net-shape manufacturing.
Low dilution between track and substrate (unlike other welding processes and strong metallurgical bond.
Low deformation of the substrate and small heat affected zone (HAZ).
High cooling rate => fine microstructure.
A lot of material flexibility (metal, ceramic, even polymer).
Built part is free of crack and porosity.
Compact technology.
I agree… while theirs too is physics based (and sounds pretty darn cool, actually) I think the sheer fact that GE has a firm deadline to meet and has already spent over a year validating Sigma means they won't change course so close to the finish line. We are at the beginning of the next revolution in manufacturing… remember that James Watt was neither the first (nor last) person to build a steam engine (in fact- he actually blocked innovation with patent suits because he was too scared of using high-pressure steam)… his wasn't even the best, just the first, and the one that really caught on. [He positioned himself very well via networking.] I am certain there will be others that come later with other innovative methods of IPQA, I just think our position (already being in with the big dogs… and being an actual publicly traded company… with over a year- almost two, if you count Morris- of validation under our belts) means we'll likely get the 1st run of adoption. What comes after- 2, 5, 10 years, who knows. Think about Apple and Microsoft. Microsoft got big 1st, just by being 1st to market… but Apple is every where now. If we're Microsoft and they're Apple, I don't have a problem with that. (Honestly, all I want is for the pps to help on buying a house.) lol.
I never thought I'd see a patent that used the phrase "fuzzifications." Lol .
It sounds a bit concerning overall… but Idk enough about it.

This may be the lowest volume day I've ever seen...
I expect to see contract revenues q1 2015 as Mark said. We may get the America Makes holdover revenues before that, maybe q3, but more likely q4 IMO....
but question... isn't December the end of our fiscal year, so we won't hear about the results of q4 til the 10K...? Which is later, like Mid Spring?
I remember that 6 month dry spell SUCKED last year... :/ will suck again if nothing posts in q3....
That said, if we get consistent news of major contracts... should offset, IMO.
Let's hope our PR guy stays as good as he's been so far.
This part sounds good:
Since the microstructural properties of AM parts are governed by the material's thermal history, the ultimate objective in AM process monitoring is to capture the temperature reached at all 3D locations within a part. Such a so-called "heat map," however, involves a tremendous quantity of data. Today, sensors, signal-processing algorithms, and data-storage strategies are under active development that can begin to address the challenges of point-by-point collection and archiving of thermal information. OEM equipment vendors, innovation-oriented small companies, and government research labs have current development programs."
SLM Solutions' Melt Pool Control module, currently in development, relies on fast single-point IR emission measurements at two wavelengths. After analysis, data are presented as 2D maps of thermal energy. Data acquisition and analysis is accomplished at each point in ~ 70µs for a high, effective sampling rate of ~ 14kHz. More significantly, the system will soon be able to dynamically adjust laser output power at this rate, achieving true closed-loop power control based on melt pool information.
The sensors and sensed quantities being pursued today for AM process monitoring are mostly derived from experience with established processes such as laser welding. As such, they may or may not turn out to be the best means of identifying AM process anomalies in situ. It is still the early days for metal AM, and the equipment and powder materials are evolving rapidly. So, too, will sensing and data analysis technologies. Parallel efforts are currently underway to carry out physics-based simulations of the laser-powder bed interactions, and to establish detailed databases tying material properties to process parameters and powder characteristics. In the next several years, these may help illuminate the optimal quantities to monitor, point by point, in or near the melt pool, as well as the best sensors to use. Meanwhile, rapid innovation will continue, though the advent of truly robust process monitoring and control is probably still a few years away. As major manufacturers plan for volume production of metal AM parts, we should expect to see more emphasis being placed in this area and much continued development activity. The AM process monitoring race is on, and the winning technologies and competitors have yet to be identified, much less declared.
It'd be more worth it if I had a ton of shares lol. My piddly 65k is nothing.
