Remember Los alamos lab is not Sigma Labs or B6 sigma though.
Not sure how that information exactly correlates with SGLB
but it is definitely related as SGLB has business with MHTX
as well.
Manhattan Scientifics
Pulled $8 million from Carpenter, a multi billion dollar company
Not sure if this tech has to do with their deal with SGLB but it appears
they are at least heading in the right direction.
ACQUISITIONS
In June 2008, we acquired Metallicum and its licensed patented technology. We entered into a stock purchase agreement with Metallicum to acquire all of the outstanding capital in exchange for 15,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock. An additional 15,000,000 shares of our common stock will be payable to Metallicum in the event of meeting certain milestones. At December 31, 2011, one milestone was met. Metallicum was granted an exclusive license by The Los Alamos National Laboratory on patents related to nanostructured metals. In September 2009, we entered into a technology transfer agreement and sale with Carpenter Technology Corporation, (“Carpenter”) wherein Carpenter was responsible to develop, manufacture and market a new class of high strength metals. On February 11, 2015, the Company and Carpenter entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release pursuant to which the parties provided a full release of one another, Carpenter paid the Company $8,000,000, Carpenter transferred to the Company all intellectual and physical property that was part of the original agreement, Carpenter agreed to provide follow-on technical assistance and Carpenter provided a list of all customers and contacts. The goal of our licensed proprietary process will be to enable our commercial partners to build super-strength metals and alloys to make products that weigh far less than in the past and without significant cost premiums. In September 2009, the Company entered into a technology transfer agreement and sale with Carpenter. As described above, the Company and Carpenter terminated their relationship in February 2015.
Following the return of the Company’s nanostructured metal technology, the Company has commenced exploring strategic alternatives for its Metallicum division. At this time we are exploring and working with partner companies in the fields of titanium dental implants, titanium and magnesium medical devices, high voltage aluminum conductors as well as oil and gas field applications.

New lows today, PPS decreasing seems like it will continue.
How low it may go, I do not know, but it seems like a good
buying, and/or selling opportunity depending what side
you're playing.
relatively small volume for such a big move.
a few buys will clear this up just like the last few
days hopefully.
witty shouldn't be out of the office for sglb
this week when we have an event going on.
Should be an interesting day, hoping they send out a pr regarding deform or the event. Starts 1130 EST.
Glta.
First quarter won't be filed until May 15.
Everyone on this board disagrees with me in this, but I feel very strongly that they WILL utilize the s3 in the near term future.
As we've seen the pps increase over the past month on no revenue news, it is safe to assume that if significant revenues from any of the companies sglb has been doing business with were to come to fruition, the pps will jump up drastically.
As ALL companies do, especially startups with very few assets, and barely any cash, they will utilize the s3 while the pps is inflated to raise funds for future operations.
SGLB will need to grow quickly to keep up with demand. This takes a lot of personnel and a lot more cash. Sglb needs cash.
QUESTION! Please assist if possible.
For instance, if a company has 750,000,000
shares authorized at approximately .12 per share and files a s3 - at the market
offering for $25 million, or approximately 205,000,000 shares,
does that mean the company will then have
955,000,000 million shares authorized or shares outstanding?
Does the company have to file a separate document to increase
the shares authorized or is it implied by the s3?
Thank you for your time,
That is incorrect.
This is straight from the S3
Assuming that all $25,000,000 of our common stock is sold pursuant to this at-the-market offering prospectus at an assumed offering price of $0.0745 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTCQB on December 16, 2014, we would have 955,311,531 shares of common stock outstanding.
it will be used lol. a company doesn't file this for no reason.
they will need to raise cash for further operations
looking forward into the future.
as the company grows they will need to fund
more personnel and more equipment, as mark
stated today they may look at adding more
printers if orders stack up.
3 million in cash is nothing when you are talking
about a publicly traded company. Especially
if they want to uplist in the near future they will
need cash or no big investors would even
consider something so risky.
They have yet to build an infrastructure of a
solid company, which takes a lot of time and
money.
The upside of SGLB is they have no debt
to pay off, which will make raising money
for operations much easier.
We have a long way to go and believe me
they will need every penny of that $25 million.
it doesn't matter if they "use" the 25 million or not.
the addition of the shares authorized thru the s3
in the amount of $25 million would instantaneously
dilute the PPS by the amount authorized.
from approximately 750,000,000 to 955,000,000
shares as stated in the s3.
True, but upon initiation of the S3 at that point would
bring us back down to current levels after the $25 million
dollar dilution.
Meaning most likely we will stick around a $50 million
valuation until further news of revenues. Until then
anything below 50 million would be a great buy.
Today really solidified sglb has the attention of a big buyer. Gunna be a great year and many more to come.
Next couple ERs look like they will have great news.
New developments with overseas production has faster
turnaround time to make new battery systems quicker
and more efficiently, saving time and money.
And this is just one faction of their business, developing
battery systems for storage, which is projected to
see huge growth over the next 10 years.
"Financially, we've continued to push for maximum efficiency possible in achieving our product and revenue goals. We’ve focused our sales efforts in key regions and maximize the use of low cost development and manufacturing in our China JV in order to contain spending, while the market develops.
Our spending that we announced to retrofit upgrades to our various field installations has continued to improve performance of our fielded systems. The money that we’ve spent to continually improve our products has produced good results and is critical to our continued competitiveness."
CEO statement showing ZBB is ready to put their
disruptive technology into the market.
This is a monumental stage for all power systems
as a more stable grid is very valuable to those who
need power (i.e. everyone)
"The value streams that we provide can accrue to both the building owner and utility so we can be a true solution to the current term issues we see between utilities and renewable energy users. We view the combination of these business models with our disruptive products as removing the last barrier to cost effective scaling of distributed renewable penetration on a modern grid."
ZBB CEO stated we will continue to see interesting
developments in the next ER.
"We have activity in progress in each and there will certainly be success to announce as we go forward with new product innovations, key partnerships and contracts for systems and services."
ZBB ramping from R&D stage to production stage,
$$ coming soon.
Expecting a recovery down until ER or other announcements, unless the entity /entities decide to keep buying like they have over the week, but I truly feel the days of a 30 million dollar valuation are over.
Holding long, adding on any dip.
Glta.
Someone wants A LOT of Sglb
Next ER must have something very nice on it.
I agree. Also they may not have to send a PR for extra revenues from GE/honeywell since they already have contracts announced with them.
If the need for ipqa increased, we may not hear about it until filings since the contract is already in place.
Either way, the upcoming months should be very interesting.
at this point i don't see SGLB letting the whole thing
go...i could see them selling a portion of it just to
have a partner like GE on their side...but I think
they would avoid selling everything as the potential
value seems to be monumental.
Waiting for revenues to prove this theory, but
long term this technology will be gold.
3.5% of 1 million is 35000 so idk how that is going to be great for sglb. Also idk how vivek runs around with all these different companies trying to make money but we haven't seen anything from him yet.
Unless alltrope suddenly signs a 100 million dollar per year deal with the DoD idk how great it is for sglb. Maybe they are capable of doing that.
Talks about the market ZBB will be targeting.
Hawaii’s total population exceeds 1.2 million residents. The state capital and business, financial, urban and transport center is the City & County of Honolulu on the Island of Oahu. It’s population is over a million placing it among the twelve largest cities in the U.S.A. Seven million tourists come to Hawaii from around the world each year. They have access to 70,000 hotel and resort condo units and 3,000 foodservice establishments. Hawaii is also home to major military bases for the U.S. Army, Navy, Airforce and Marines. Census information from Hawaii governmental agencies including the Dept. of Business, Economic Development & Tourism, the Dept. of Land Utilization and the Property Divisions of Hawaii Counties indicates (excluding single family homes) that there are over 9,000 major residential, commercial and government buildings and facility structures Statewide. Hawaii’s limited land mass encourages design solutions favoring more creative vertical and “green” construction in urban centers. An aggressive initiative to build a mass transit sytem on Oahu with Federal assistance is also underway.
Think of all those with resort condo and hotel property.
ZBB technology could generate cash flow from each unit by
storing energy and redistributing energy.
Seems like a no-brainer since solar and wind energy
should be huge down there.
Love that we already have a contract there so everyone
can see how this technology can save them 100k per year
based on the current projections, along with providing
energy security by storing in case of a power outage.
ZBB has all the answers!

If ge bought 7% of common
Stock they wouldn't effect the
Day to day business anyways
So who cares?
It would only make us rich if they did.
exactly what im sayin....they didn't
do all this to commercialize this
technology just to sell it to one company
and be done.
they are trying to extract some money
out of this technology.
SGLB knows the value of this tech
and it doesn't end with one sale.
it Starts with licensing out to
multiple companies for tens of
millions of dollars...and that
is just the first step.
This market isn't even started yet.
Really? lol This is from
SGLBs last 10K
As of March 31, 2014, our directors and executive officers beneficially owned approximately 6.15% of our outstanding common stock.
These shareholders, if they act together, may be able to direct the outcome of matters requiring approval of the shareholders, including the election
of our directors and other corporate actions such as:
our merger with or into another company;
· a sale of substantially all of our assets; and
· amendments to our articles of incorporation.
The decisions of these shareholders may conflict with our interests or those of our other shareholders.
Lol GE is not going to buy SGLB anytime soon.
If they were going to, they would have
done it years ago when they started working
with SGLB in 2012 when their valuation was
about 1/5 of what it is now.
SGLB obviously does not want to sell out
at this time, as they realize they have
the technology that will be very much
more valuable in a few years just by
running the company themselves.
The only "takeover protection" sglb needs
is the management of the company saying "no."
GE cant just take someone over bc they
feel like it.
Now in a few years, when SGLB has made
millions in sales and proved their tech
is crucial to AM mass production and
Cola and the team our happy with their nest
eggs and feel like retiring, and GE
feels they can still make money off purchasing
the company and licensing it out to the world,
then SGLB might just sell out.
Right now SGLB knows they can continue operations
for a relatively short period of time (3-5 years)
and greatly increase the value of their company.
We are already seeing a major ramp up in news and
the AM market receiving attention.
Standards coming soon, many companies getting
involved. AM printer sales continue to grow
rapidly.
So in this instance the FAA regulated the
part by sending out a representative to
examine the part and decide if the part
was correctly manufactured and ready for
flight....lol
I think they would much rather look at an
IPQA data sheet showing that 99% of the
welds performed during the manufacturing
were correct and the geometry of the part
is correct according to the metrics of the
original design.
They might appreciate someone like SGLB.
They would receive much better reception moving onto a major exchange with a large sum of cash. Trying to uplist with a couple million in revenue may not be very welcoming.
Since we have very few revenues, a large cash position would help our valuation.
All in the realm of possibilities as GE pushes the AM mass production forward.
I agree with the growth possibilities you expect but I do disagree with our p/e increasing over time.
We are sitting at this high valuation because the value of the IP is unknown but expected to be very valuable.
Once the revenues come in and SGLB gets notice by big money investors, our valuation will depend on cash on hand the financial structure at the time. We are lucky our valuation has held this current level since technically by a financial standpoint we are tremendously overvalued.
SGLB will most likely post news of such revenues you described, but once that happens and the PPS heads north, they will utilize the s3 to raise cash (good for the valuation, bad for the short term pps) This will allow SGLB to raise a portion or all of the $25 million authorized in the ATM offering.
This will solidify SGLB operations going forward and allow us for a potential uplisting (most likely after a r/s guessing 2016) without fear of dilution as we will have substantial cash on hand and revenues coming in.
However, once we reach "real" markets, this 30x revenues la la land will no longer exist.
For example, existing 3D printers can only produce objects at accuracies of up to about 0.1 millimeters. But Kariwa’s seasoned machinists can work with a precision up to 100 times greater. Mitsuhashi is using them to develop optimal designs that minimize the need for finishing after printing and speed up prodction. “Through the years of experience, I can tell an error of about one one-thousandth of a millimeter by how it feels in my hand,” said one Kariwa technician.
Mitsuhashi’s team expects to deliver the first products in March 2015.
Mitsuhashi says that the workers’ skill will allow him to take 3D printing to next level. “They show designers where our blind spots are, or provide us with hints for making the products even better,” Mitsuhashi says. The 3D printer has already helped cut the time it takes to make certain parts from two months to about two weeks.
Kariwa may not be a household name, but the new manufacturing method puts the local plant at the forefront of industrial additive manufacturing, along with 3D-printed fuel nozzles, which are already being produced for the next-generation LEAP jet engine, and other components.
Mitsuhashi’s team expects to deliver the first products in March 2015.

Wednesday May 20th, 2015
RAPID 2015 Conference
2:30 pm – 2:55 pm
Additive Manufacturing in Aerospace Production
Donald Godfrey, Engineering Fellow, Honeywell/Advanced Manufacturing & Mark Cola, President and CEO, Sigma Labs, Inc
Despite the significant promise of 3D Printing technologies such as Direct Metal Laser Sintering – DMLS – three problems still remain that inhibit further adoption of the technology: metallurgical quality, geometric accuracy, and production speed/productivity. Measuring the geometry of a part during the direct metal laser sintering additive manufacturing process is a major challenge of in-process quality monitoring. This presentation describes a novel technique based on well-known image processing algorithms to extract calibrated geometry information from a photograph of each layer of the part. It will also demonstrate that the technique is analogous to standard measurement techniques such as optical or mechanical coordinate measuring machines (CMM) or X-ray computed tomography (CT). The technique described here is advantageous over standard techniques for several reasons. It provides data as the part is being manufactured and reduces the need for a separate geometry inspection step. Part support structure does not interfere with geometry measurement as it would in CMM or CT measurements. The technique also allows for measuring internal geometries not accessible with a CMM. Lastly, validation with respect to other measurement techniques is discussed.

Once again the bullishness of these engines comes thru
Based on our relationship with GE, Im sure
if we needed capital beyond our current capabilities
they would loan it to us through their capital programs
if it were to obstruct their production guidelines.
If sglb is a vital role as it is suspected to be,
i dont see financing our projects as that big of
an issue as the overhead should be low as theres
not too much hardware expenses. Our value remains
in our software and expertise which is an intagible
which is another reason why our PPS has trouble holding
any higher valuation at the moment.
How it always works.
Contracts announced, pps rises.
S3 announced pps falls back down.
Company collects proceeds to pay for operation needs to fulfill contracts.
Revenues posted via quarterly
Or annual report, pps goes back up
First off, there's very few companies coming out of the r&d stage who don't need to dilute for funding. That's what the market is for, to give the general public a chance to invest in a public company.
And second, the pps wouldn't depreciate if people weren't selling/short selling, so technically, yes, they were part of pushing the pps down.
Its a game of what sglb is worth today, vs what their technology is worth to the market. That's why we are technically overvalued at the moment, but anyone who understands the technology understands that we are actually undervalued.
the shorts have pushed us down this far,
seems investors are ready to add as
we have held this (although low) support.
Continued name drops and articles and GE
production seems to be gathering steam.
Deform coming soon.
Looking good, adding when the check clears.
The volatility lately is just strange...> 10% jumps thru the day...something is going on
