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). Changes in the temperature of the melt pool are detected from a change in the emissivity. Advances in research have explored alternative imaging techniques including optical coherence tomography for surface characterisation (Guan et al., 2016) and low-coherence interferometric imaging for melt pool morphology (Kanko et al., 2016). Zhao et al. (2017) present in situ monitoring of the physical processes during powder bed fusion using high-speed x-ray imaging. The long-term requirements of industry and aims of research are to create a closed-loop system (Spears and Gold, 2016), where the process parameters are controlled by the feedback, thus allowing for in-build compensation of fluctuations as they occur.
Agreed..a significant asset indeed.
In-situ Process Monitoring for Series Production of Titanium Parts by Mark Cola, Sigma Labs
Abstract: Today the time and cost associated with validation of the manufacturing process for aerospace quality components can be on the order of 15 years and $200MM. The “make and break” qualification approach is too costly. For metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) to transition to production there is a need for a rapid process qualification of metal AM components that achieves part specific performance and affordability goals. In this presentation, an In-Process Quality Assurance™ (IPQA®)-based approach is proposed that demonstrates that in-situ probabilistic sensing and routine data-capture capabilities can be transferred to the manufacturing environment to reduce qualification costs.
Experiments were performed to characterize an aerospace titanium alloy using a state-of-the-art, Directed Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS®) AM system and non-contact, in-situ sensors. Quantitative, digital In-Process Quality Metric™ (IPQM®s) aka, Quality Signature™ data, and Thermal Energy Density™ (TED™) images were generated from optical and thermal sensor data collected at 50,000 samples per second channel and correlated with process conditions selected to stress the process. Worst-case conditions were selected that challenged the process to discover how post-process quality metrics and in-process quality metrics™ changed as process input variables were varied. These process capability studies were used to define acceptable in-situ, digital Quality Signature™s that were correlated to post-process testing results (part density) and used to define an alloy-specific AM process map.
These studies demonstrated that it is possible to use in-situ monitoring to rapidly qualify engineering alloys using an AM process map made using quantitative, digital IPQM® data or Quality Signature™s coupled with conventional, post-process testing results, for example part density. Such alloy-specific AM process maps allow process engineers to develop confidence in an IPQA®-based approach to process qualification using in-situ Quality Signature™s and traditional statistical process control techniques.
Thanks...
Well look at this...Merry Christmas from Sigma Labs.

Ha!! Thx for the laugh..
Agreed...not only delayed to come out but it was delayed in gaining traction from the onset. In addition, this pr shows me that Mark has a set...as he calls out GE. That's a big deviation from the past. Looks like he is hitting back from that report. I'm not the most tech savvy, but it seems that after that point the tech was keep as close as possible...testing for Honeywell was completed using a PrintRite3D IPQA system at the Sigma Labs facility. The game continues...

The global 3D metal printing market is expected to reach USD 2.86 billion by 2025.
Metals are the fastest-growing 3D printing materials worldwide on account of high application scope coupled with increasing demand from the medical and dental application.
The market has witnessed advancements, both in terms of technologies and materials, in order to facilitate low cost and mass production of the products. This would also lead to flexibility in designs and ease of manufacturing of products for a wide range of applications.
Numerous companies including GE have been utilizing metal 3D printing for the development of aerospace parts. In December 2016, Sigma Labs entered into a new contract with Honeywell aerospace. The Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) selected the company for completion of phase III of the Open Manufacturing (OM) program. It is aimed at reducing the barriers involved in the metal 3D printing process including speed, cost, and repeatability.

I have seen nothing of the sort...only this..not IPQA
“As we ramp up production on the LEAP fuel nozzle, Materialise Streamics will be our production control software for Additive Manufacturing. It will be an invaluable tool to help us save time and eliminate manual processes,”
Greg Morris, Additive Technologies Leader at GE Aviation.
Mark Cola...
Regarding Materialise Inspector software, we believe a few key points and differences are as follows:
It’s only for AM machines that run Materialise’s build processor software. Whereas, Sigma Labs PrintRite3D® technology is AM machine agnostic.
I understand that their software generates a layer by layer simulation based upon build parameters entered. As such this is only M&S software unlike PrintRite3D® which is empirically-based manufacturing software observing and measuring real-time process quality that can form the basis for an IPQA®-assisted quality assurance approach to AM product quality.
It generates an “energy density map” based upon input parameters, then it highlights areas of concern, one can then go back and edit parameters, and re-run the heat map. It is like a “print preview” for metal printing. It can also be used to optimize build parameters. Given that, here again it is a good start much like M&S software similar to that available from 3DSIM or ESI. It helps to speed the Edisonian trial & error approach to process development yet does not substitute the need for quality measurements during the process. It appears to be complementary to our IPQA®-enabled PrintRite3D®.

Critical Design Review (CDR)
To complete the Critical Design Review Aerojet Rocketdyne had to validate its production processes, including the use of 3D printing. With the technology often cited as difficult to certify in comparison to conventional manufacturing techniques, if not purely for the fact it is more contemporary, passing this milestone was a significant feat.
In order to pass the review, Aerojet Rocketdyne may have benefited from its recently announced partnership with Sigma Labs. Sigma Labs is the creator of PrintRite software which can certify additive manufactured parts thereby making validation easier. By passing this latest CDR, the engine design team has now completed 22 component reviews leading up to the final engine qualification aimed for 2019.
CEO Eileen Drake explains that this milestone means the engine design is now finalized and confirmed before stating the company is “ready to build our first engine for qualification and certification.”
I believe this is the first time we are announcing an installation on a 3D Systems machine...?
https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2017/04/18/961632/0/en/Sigma-Labs-Wins-Contract-with-Solar-Turbines-Incorporated.html
Sigma Labs will initially install its PrintRite3D® software on a 3D Systems’ ProX300 machine, with the potential for multiple system orders as the company ramps up to full serial production.
Sigma Labs Announces Fourth Quarter Conference Call
SANTA FE, N.M. – March 20, 2017 – Sigma Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGLB) (“Sigma Labs” or the “Company”), a provider of quality assurance software under the PrintRite3D® brand, today announced that it will host a conference call to discuss the financial results for the Company's fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. The conference call will be held Thursday, March 30, 2017, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Sigma Labs plans to release the Company's 2016 fourth quarter results prior to market open that same day.
To participate in the call, please dial toll free 1-844-802-2441, or 1-412-317-5134, approximately five minutes before the conference call time stated above. A live webcast of the call can also be accessed on the Sigma Labs website at www.sigmalabsinc.com. A recording will be available on the Company's website upon completion of the call.
We would also get some good movement from an announcement of our software being embedded into Arcam or Concept Laser..
The fact that our software is being embedded into the new generation machines is quite significant. I can recall Greg Morris stating in a bloomberg article a few years back that we may have to wait for the next generation machines before we can move into production. Those new machines, i.e, AI, EOS, Trumpf are equipping themselves with IPQA provided by Sigma Labs. We have certainly come a long way from earlier concerns about voiding the machine warranty by modifying the machines to accommodate Printrite3D...
“We are very pleased that Additive Industries has taken the next step in strengthening our long-term relationship by officially joining our OEM Partner Program,” said Mark Cola, President and CEO of Sigma Labs. “Having worked with their esteemed staff for several years, we’ve come to realize the shared value of providing AM machines with the full capabilities of Sigma Labs’ In-Process Quality Assurance™ (IPQA®) applications. By embedding equipment with our PrintRite3D® software before being sold, we can better address the needs of metal component manufacturers across a range of industries and advance the reliability and quality of AM production in real time. We look forward to working with Additive Industries for many years to come.”
Thx...
