Don’t shoot the messenger, if you’re so mad go email the guy I did and get your steam blown off.

I emailed Bret Shapiro. He forwarded my inquiry to Mark and the boys.
They did not surrender any of their patents, maybe you’re a bit misinformed on the patent award, but that’s what they told me.
GLTA
I know that lol. Google how to tolerate a troll.
Look it up on google.
The short term pain is very real, a side effect of that is loaded-opinion posts on this board.

Hmm suite of apps specifically for Printrite3D... but why would 3Dsim waste their time developing product around an “unproven” software...
GLTAL
Oh there is, before the end of this month is my guess.
GLTA
Lot of movement today.
GLTA
I should have worded that better, “attempting” to go in house first. I don’t think SGLB is ruled out of their minds completely. It’s an option on the table, pending their in-house AM software results. (Possibly until our patent filings are full proof too? I’m not an expert in patent law but would love someone more attuned to the laws to share their opinions)
If they can provide incentive with some time frames as to when they expect a big contract then yes more shares would pass.
I doubt they will give us a foreword looking statement like that, too many legal implications.
As far as them being the reason for revenue delays, it’s the industry. We have yet to see full scale adoption of AM even by the biggest companies, Ge is doing it for fuel nozzles as far as we know, and they went in house on our asses.(I point my finger at Mark for that, desperation was evident in the GE days.)
You can check google trends for SGLB, Sigma labs, Printrite3D and it will tell you countries that have hits on those searches.
Yep. Mark ain't going to admit that to us, but I'm glad a new CEO is here.
This is a product "design" process suite.
Yeah, which is why I'm not surprised by their move to hold off in Sigmas product. I think GE used Sigmas knowledge as a way of figuring out where to start with things on their own in-house designs. (Unfortunately..I didn't like MC as CEO :/ )
They don't have the necessary resources/time to develop their own software.
Companies with good management know when to outsource and when not to. If the endeavor is going to distract from their core business design it's best not to get involved and save yourself the headache and unknown costs/timelines.
It's not surprising to me that Siemens would rather outsource, rather than develop an in house design. (Like GE is attempting to do/has done.)
Just my perspective on things.
It makes sense, in that they don't want to be a captive customer to Sigmas product.
so yes it makes sense to find alternate routes prior to adopting fully. It's cheaper to have a software they develop and own, rather then to outsource to Sigma.
is that confusing?
I question your perspective on the situation, to say a company like Siemens hasn't thought things through before agreeing to go through with the installation... is just plain naive.
Your saltiness is clouding your perspective in a lot of ways.
So you see no value in printrite3d? Is that what your implying? If so, why waste your time on this board?
Best of luck
Lol, you've been misinformed...
why don't you go ask Siemens what they're wasting their time for on Sigmas Printrite3D Inspect Software Version 2.0 installation?
You're salty about something to say the least, best of luck.
Oh I am aware of that, if there was something that advanced, by god, everyone would use it.
Printrite3D is used to build the near perfect instruction for 3Dprinters. Sigma also offers in-process monitoring so it will detect defects during the print and notify the user of any defects that might have taken place during the print.
GLTA
I don't see GE continuing their use of CT scans, so when will they bite the bullet and realize SGLB has exactly what they don't want to admit?
GLTA
Yea, but if this is the case I do hope, once we have a steady stream of income, SGLB pursues damages relevant to the amount we would have made had they not infringed on patent rights and "reversed engineered" our product for their use/personal gain.
That's my assumption too, but there is the possibility that Mark screwed up on contract agreements with GE and got screwed out of ever obtaining money from them, whilst they use printrite3D at their disposal...
Utilizing the prototype printrite3D until our patent situation is squared away...just another possible outcome, I don't actually think this is the case though.
GE is big enough to figure things out on their own, and seeing that we were in "lockstep" at the early development stages of our product, leads me to believe GE took full advantage of Colas desperation.
(GE isn't of any concern anymore since we have a pretty ample supply of top corporate dogs in the aerospace industry opting into our early adopter program. Competition is healthy.)
What's confusing to me is this, how is GE approving and installing these parts without using acoustic sound to acquire the necessary data for quality assurance? It is to my understanding that All other methods are either not cost efficient or aren't reliable, so what method is GE using?
Industry is the hold up, not the product.
Technique Developed for High Strength Aluminum Alloys 3D Printing
(Anyone know if SGLB would enjoy this news or is it irrelevant to them?)

Haha good question, no I will not be making it. I don't have the time available to do such a thing, hopefully one of the retired folks on this board might be willing???
I'm just glad we have hard evidence of them actually wanting to integrate their product with circuit boards. Before they left it up to investor speculation for the most part haha.
(Good question for quarterly meeting: What vision does SGLB management have of Printrite3D? (ie: cloud based software? Circuit board addition with cloud based support? ) I ask this because of your recent TDA with Oxys corp...and what cost implications might this hold, that investors should be aware of?)
-GLTA
I recall various investors saying they have a vision of Sigma being something like an "Intel" chip installed directly on 3D Printing Circuit boards... here's a step in that direction!
OXYS Corporation signs Technology Development Agreement with Sigma Labs to jointly develop Printrite3D INSPECT architecture platform.
(Sigma wants to miniaturize hardware and software integration, moving more towards a circuit board level)

Rolls-Royce, A*Star, Singapore Aero Engine Services Launch $60M Aerospace 3D Printing Facility
(Is this driving some volume today?)

Would you say agendas got in the way and compromised America Makes' integrity with regards to this report? (I've seen some mention GE had a strong arm on how this report was to be presented.)
And yet we have people saying the product is unproven still...
-GLTA
I wish I had the knowledge/insight you have.
GLTA
Yeah, I believe sigmas tech is at the forefront of this industry movement we've witnessed over the past couple months. As our product (Printrite3D) reliability is being proven across multiple manufacturing industries: Auto, Aero, dental, medical.
(I do wish we had more insight as to how much these EAP companies enjoy our products added value.)
It's moving fast into the final stages of development yes, but I'd argue it's not an industry yet until finished goods are being printed in full scale, not controlled scales to measure results.
Industry is developing, patience is required.
GLTA
1 sale notice away from a nice leap, keeping my head up.
We now have 3 sales rep firms repping the printrite3D product, only a matter of time.
I would say this is true in manufactured goods: Cars, planes, and medical devices. Not a software that requires a plethora of knowledge and expertise to even grasp what's going on... maybe this is something to worry about once the industry matures and is more widely understood with guidelines and standards in place.
