NDA does not equal a acquisition.
Often it's just a simple contract to work together and doesn't even necessarily require cash transaction.
S1 does not necessarily have anything to do with the NDA.
Money could simply be needed to continue operations as they have little to no cash and burn more than they currently make
It just means they're small lol.
If they did business for a decade and made big money, no one would call them a startup anymore
Yikes. The misinformation based on nothingness and a fabrication of facts is astounding in my opinion.
No "big money" lost money or sold out.
The number of total shares increased, which changed the percentage of ownership, which is required to be documented for a 5% individual.
Very telling of the inability to understand more complex ideas, when this one is simple math that is spelled out as plainly as possible in SEC forms, in my opinion.
Big yikes at any claims to understand anything about the AM industry and regular business operations within a publicly traded company.

Claiming an acquisition is on the table when it is not documented at all...
The registration of 44M shares will cause a significant dilution when authorized which will occur sooner rather than later as the company has no cash.
400k gets the company about 6 months of operations, which means further dilution will be necessary.
This is basically a shell company that is desperate for cash and will be for the foreseeable future.

Glta
Well claiming that an acquisition is occurring when there is no evidence of that is definitely BS
Alerting potential investors that a dilution to the tune of 44 Million shares has already been filed is more relevant and helpful
Do DD
Glta
Except the shares have been registered which means the dilution is happening once put into effect.
To raise a whopping ~400k.
Does that sound like making a super profitable acquisition or funding ongoing operations?
Even if the 400k was to acquire a business, even more dilution would occur by more than likely paying them in shares since 400k could barely buy a McDonald's franchise and pay a few employees.
With zero evidence of that actually occurring. I don't gamble. If I wanted to do that I'd go to the casino
Maybe if they didn't just register to dilute 44 Million shares
"Exploring" reasons why something isn't selling with facts and actual data is one thing...
however, blindly guessing into the abyss while fueling a personal agenda with baseless arguments, senseless claims, and blaming pump and dumpers for simple market swings is a garbage and immoral practice in my opinion.
Sigma Labs has regularly provided the scientific evidence behind their software, as well as the business model they continue to make tremendous progress with YoY.
claimed the technology didn't work... false.
claimed management wasn't performing their
jobs...false.
claimed the industry was moving on without any in process quality assurance measures...false.
claimed the standards didn't require the same exact measurements and data feedback that Printrite3D is capable of capturing...false.
claimed customers signed contracts and nullified them after testing the software...false.
claimed PR3D wouldn't be viable for DED...false.
claimed LPBF market was controlled by GE...false.
claimed no end users would need anything more than black box OEM software...false.
all these falsities have been proven incorrect by science and contracts in hand.
Sigma also recently hired additional sales staff to work under Ron Fisher.
once again, bringing the real agenda to the light, with factless arguments with no rhyme or reason, as short selling is openly discussed by those who supposedly believe in the future of SGLB.
this is why real DD is worth 120k/4 months and the nonsensical guessing is bleeding cash.

Over 5 million sold to Oasis for equity line.
Only way they'd profit is to short them.
Can't see the recent increases staying long on no solid news and no positive change in books
Lotta micros seeing increases from all the extra stimulus money going around.
And anyone with any knowledge of the market and any ounce of investor know-how, would be aware that when an uptick in valuation of the company happens, it is time to adjust their investment, factually speaking, in my opinion.
Hence why due diligence puts a rational value on a company, and when that value increases significantly, a professional investor could make 120k over 3 months.
A less intelligent and poorly educated investor might just call "back to 2" for 6 months and misguide potential and current investors from making a years salary in a short amount of time, in my opinion
any investor who simply watches as their investment falls the alleged 900% (imaginary number as usual) without making the necessary moves to limit that loss, or to turn that loss into a profit, (which Sigma Labs has provided the opportunity to do so at least 5 times in the last 2 years, is at fault for not making those moves. especially recently, as the pps has moved up significantly on multiple occasions.
slander against the company and its employees can cause serious damages to the companies and the investors involved. unfortunately this has been occuring regularly for Sigma Labs by very dirty, unprofessional, criminals, whose actions are currently being investigated by multiple firms for the monies they've negatively affected.
Fortunately, due diligence can protect investors from this :)
This is the first time making over double digits thousands on a series of trades. my previous was around 14k over a few trades.
Now sitting at +120k (before taxes) so ~90k profits if i pulled my account entirely and moved it to my 401k or something.
But, personally, a more long term plan on making this easy play at least a few more times while others sit mad and confused at whats going on, seems more viable and lucrative.
so easy when the opposition is still defining pump and dump and copy and pasting random definitions like a simpleton.
But nonetheless, to each their own.
Its clear which tactics work and provide profits, and which provide spending day after day slandering a company they can't profit off of and have nothing better to do than cry about it on a blog everyday, in my opinion.
imagine losing a race and going back to the winners circle every day, for 3 years straight to cry about how you weren't as fast and missed your opportunity to run efficiently.
telling people to run like you, and they lose too. bad strategy in my opinion
due diligence breeds winners and profits
slander breeds stupidity and losses.
choose wisely.

except the financials have constantly improved especially in the last few years for Sigma Labs.
shareholder equity continues to increase, from less than a million to over 6 million currently.
4.5 million just raised with no decrease in pps, actually an increase in pps.
Sigma Labs continues to create opportunities for any investor to increase the value of their holdings.
however, they cannot do that for the investor, thats not their job.
its the responsibility of the investor to adjust their holdings to maximize ROI.
many have done that and made a years salary 100k in 3 months. only the unprepared or mentally ill equipped have apparently failed and spend days commiting defamation and slander towards the company and their employees. a truly sad rat life, in my opinion.

Luckily, none of the series randomized posts regarding Sigma Labs technology has any validity.
All the irrational points attempted to be made in some sort of deranged demonstration, however, they have fell short from having any factual basis as always, in my opinion.
As far as disregarding tbe scientific theory in the name of business,
the scientific theory is correct in this instance, and the objective of many of those studies including the multiple with NIST, was to prove specifically that in-process quality assurance can positively affect the ROI of additive manufacturing.
***the objective of multiple studies was to find a technology that could make Mass production of additive manufactured parts a possibility, including economically***
so, as the scientific study was able to verify the science, the technology was able to verify the objective of determining if additive manufacturing could be economically viable for mass production.
the objective successfully discovered the most efficient way, and most cost effective way to mass produce AM parts.
the answer? a technology with the capabilities of Printrite3D.
So, although many patents aren't made to be financially sound, Printrite3D was actually specifically made understanding this value.
if proper DD is done, this has been written since the inception of the company, and also stated as a significant issue for additive Manufacturing, agreed upon by many standard bodies such as NIST, EWI, DARPA, as well as many overseas.
So, it's not just science, it's industry as well, and when the industry identifies a problem... a solution to that problem can be very valuable.
Sigma Labs has been able to identify the additive manufacturing printing OEM market as a multi-billion dollar market that has a significant need for this product.
This theory has been proven time and time again with multiple OEM contracts including the latest with Coherent in October.
every OEM needs a way to verify their printers are calibrated and operating properly.. Printrite3D 3D does exactly that, and much more.
the target market reaching ~2 billion in OEMs alone, and 20 billion for the entirety of the industry.
the "if all one needs is a match", nonsense, if they are lighting one individual candle, yes they might just need a match.. however in this case, companies are printing hundreds of parts over multiple additive manufacturing printers, that all need to be within faa, FDA, or other documented standards.
so although lighting a match might sound very simple and easy, try lighting 100 matches at one time while monitoring how hot each flame is, and knowing when to blow each individual one out without burning yourself.... the timing might be a bit difficult, one might run out of hands very quickly, but then again it does sound very easy when one tries to downplay the scientific advancements being made.
and yes, there's a lot of patents out there with very big words that might take one to a new page of Webster that they haven't shared with the class yet, but Sigma Labs holds several protecting their products.
no one "corners the market" in an advancing technology that is readily commercially available in today's day and age.
it's not the 1800s. information is readily available. everything moves much more quickly.
with a much more free and open market, there's limited ability to create a monopoly, which doesnt always equate to a healthy market.
competition is good.
Sigma Labs is the leader in IPQA software, and competition will arise.
the standards demand that much more data is necessary than black box printers provide, as per the most recent DARPA and NIST study.
that's not an opinion, that's what the studies completed by the top scientists in the field found objectively.
so, among the many fruitless points to be made, this covers the latest ones very well in my opinion.

Key words, false and misleading.
Referencing Sigma Labs Printrite3D technologies that happen to be featured in
Scientific studies by DARPA, Oerlikon, NIST, Ansys, and many others, is not false nor misleading.

They've increased shareholder value from less than a million to the most recent valuation of over 6 Million in the course of the past few years.
A 6x increase. Very impressive for a startup.

To be clear, I wasn't insinuating that Sigma Labs has a contract within the government bodies that hasn't been made publicly available knowledge. That's impossible to say, although the theory is plausible.
What I stated, is that it was very clear that Sigma Labs has held contracts with these bodies, specifically to determine that PrinteRite3D is capable of certifying both printed parts, and the printing process in its entirety for Additive Manufacturing.
That's literally what the DARPA program set out to find, and that's exactly what the science PROVED.
Completed within the scope of a government program that was made to bring high level technology from small business and the DoE, DoD, or otherwise derived technologies to provide Private industry advancements, regulations, and standards.
That being said, PrintRite3D being part of a government funded study specifically to certify the AM printing process and certify AM printed parts, is verifiable evidence that the technology could potentially be used across the entire industry both government and private sectors.
Considering a significant portion of the largest AM producers all happen to have government contracts and Sigma Labs, they regularly interact with the government to provide all sorts of aerospace and defense parts. If the government required this type of Technology to certify their parts and the process, it could affect the entire industry as a whole.
Another reason this recent advancement in Sigma Labs history (completed in 2019), has been able to increase shareholder value exponentially and will continue to into the future.
Sigma Labs work with NIST further validates the software and the exponential potential for growth, as any AM manufacturer will have to follow guidelines to operate within the government mandated standards.
Printrite3D continues to be the most effective IPQA technology in the industry and has been agreed upon by the highest levels of government bodies involved with the advancement of all AM technologies.
As the most recent US election determined a regulation-heavy democratic winner, the funding and progress towards these types of endeavours will gain speed.
Funding of these government bodies will push AM into the forefront of manufacturing, energy efficiency, carbon neutrality, waste reduction and automation.
As the industry pushes forward into production, Printrite3D Lite could likely see exponential growth among companies interested in production and nothing else.
Production companies will need to document their AM process certification and machine certification, that a technology like Printrite3D Lite provides.
As the threat of Covid lessens, production will increase, funding of R&D in AM will return, and acceleration of the industry will continue.
Sigma Labs had great improvement YoY, during a time when a majority of the industry was stagnated or dying.
2021 and the near term future look very promising.

Similarly, many companies like Sigma Labs are not legally allowed to discuss contracts involved with the DoE, DoD, NIST, and other Government bodies, like in the case investors have seen here, with an ongoing 5 year study by the most advanced AM technologies and companies in the industry.
This study with DARPA was an ongoing project completed and run by various stringently operated government agencies.
These studies are completed by the highest level of scientists in the country, and adhere to very strict standards and scientific processes.
An objective third party made very clear observations about the ability for Sigma Labs technology to certify and verify the parts and processes associated with an AM print.
That being said, it could be easily deduced that in the future, as these government agencies make AM an ongoing operation and standard procedure, the government entities would more than likely reference this study when determining what type of technology should be used in the AM processes for the DoD, DoE, and all government run agencies.
Similar to the impact on the valuation of Tesla when the government promised to use Electric Vehicles, or EV, very recently, a similar impact could be felt if the government decides to use Sigma Labs technology or one like Printrite3D to qualify government run AM printers and printers and parts made for the government.
considering this study proves the technology is capable of certifying not only parts, but the AM process, this could easily happen for a company like Sigma Labs and Printrite3D technologies.
This requirement could lead private end users to find a software like Printrite3D in order to properly print parts for the government.
A very profitable market that largest companies in the world participate in, government contracts, like Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Honeywell, Aerojet Rocketdyne, GE, Woodward, and many others... most of which happen to also hold a contract with Sigma Labs.
Funny,in my opinion, how it takes some 8 frantic posts to try to explain a simple thought, that is then challenged and proven incorrect by about four others who all agree it makes no sense. its fun to see day after day.

Summary and Conclusions
Qualification and/or certification is a process through which
compliance to a set of requirements is demonstrated.
The purpose of the qualification framework presented is to show that
compliance can be demonstrated via numerical simulations
supported by experiments for validation and calibration.
The
reason this approach is necessary is lack of experience and
design rules for LPBF process.
The qualification platform
was developed to facilitate gaining insight into how the
manufacturing process works and hence avoid pitfalls.
The
software capabilities to analyze the melting of the powder
was used to ensure that the selected process conditions (speed,
power, hatch spacing, and layer thickness) yields very low
levels of porosity in the as-build condition.
The distortion
capabilities were used to confirm that the component meets
dimensional requirements and furthermore that the build process will not experience any stoppages due to re-coater collisions with the workpiece.
Simulations were also used to evaluate potential hot and cold crack susceptibility of the material
and the component via thermal gradients of the melt pool and
the residual stress and strains, respectively.
Experiments are presented which help ascertain the accuracy
of the numerical predictions. The porosity predictions were compared to those of specimens built at different conditions.
The
porosity was measured via metallographic cross sections as well
as Archimedes method. The same trends and values wereobserved as those predicted.
The melt pool temperature and melt
pool size were compared to images gathered via a two-wavelength digital camera.
The melt pool temperature comparison is within a 100 K at temperatures at the boiling point of the
metal (~ 3000 K).
The melt pool size, width and length, was
more difficult to compare and further work is needed to understand the comparisons.
Sensors were used to develop an IPQM™ that can be
used to monitor the quality of the component, with respect
to porosity, as it is being built.
A photodetector was used
to collect light emitted by the process and the electrical
response analyzed and its statistics computed and used to
develop process control limits.
Specimens were built at
optimum and off optimum process conditions and process
data collected and plotted against the quality metric
(TED™), the response of the rocket nozzle was plotted
against those of the specimens and showed that the level
of porosity of the component is well within the acceptable
range and which was also verified experimentally.
This work has demonstrated that a combination of
physics based modeling and experimental verification
and validation can enable early stage identification and
elimination of potential problems.
The build was directly
successful and component testing confirmed achievement
of the targeted porosity, geometric accuracy, and mechanical strength of the printed material.
***It has shown
that the qualification framework presented here can be
used as the compliance means for certifications and/or
certification of components.***

In my opinion, the tactic of copy and pasting common English definitions as if no one here understands, when in reality it's just the slowest who are just discovering and understanding them now.

Does not say anything about the potential to increase the value of currently owned shares, hence no reasoning to file happenings within advancement, validity, or testing of the technology, even though they may be occuring, such as Oerlikon performing a 3rd party study validating PR3D.
Also, if Oerlikon or others are investigating choosing PR3D, it would be protected under common business practices not to be disclosed unless agreed upon in a signed contract.
Similar to when the OEM representative directly stated that OEMs would have to "play ball" with Sigma Labs in a webinar, when it came to qualification of the process, nothing was filed.
It's important to complete due diligence and listen to the professionals in the industry who are highly skilled and knowledgeable about the going's on within the industry.

Oerlikon completed study detailing the effectiveness of Printrite3D in AM printers.
Could possibly be the next OEM agreement to come.
Would be a significant capture for the entire AM market.
Sigma Labs proven yet again to be accurate and the best way to certify parts in real time.
Additive Manufacturing by Laser Powder Bed is well-established in several sectors as a manu-
facturing method of metallic components.
However, it has some limitations due to some quality
and repeatability concerns for critical applications with high fatigue and damage tolerance requirements.
The complexity of the process and its multi-physical nature make it dicult to anticipate
the presence of defects and leads to some unexpected defects.
Therefore, Oerlikon AM GmbH is
assessing in-process monitoring solutions in order to analyse in real-time the process, identify the
sources of variability and for the tuning of the Key Process Variables.
Investigations by Optical Microscopy or Computed Tomography scan were performed on several
test samples and were compared with the metrics obtained with PRINTRITE3D® developed by
Sigma Labs Inc.
Initial results showed that the system is able to highlight laser/material interaction
variation across the build platform and to detect some discrepancies such as voids and lack of
fusions.
*Electronic address:simon.sankare@oerlikon.com;
URL: https://www.oerlikon.com/am/en/
IV. CONCLUSION
It appears that the analysis of outliers and the statistical distribution of the TEP signal
makes it possible to identify potential defective parts quickly. Printrite3D allows a quick
selection of non-compliant parts which might require a targeted inspection, thereby the
inspection ressources can be more eectively used.
Analysis of outliers and the observations of the lower and upper tails of the distributions
of the data can be used to highlight unusual interaction between the laser and the powder
bed.
If the system cannot be a complete substitute of conventionnal NDT methods, it could
be used as a cheap and quick way to discriminate discrepancies at the layer level.
It was demonstrated that IPQA/IQPM solution could be a Laser Powder Bed machines
agnostic system to detect issues during the process and implemented as a real time process
monitoring system.
Furthermore, a statistical process control system can be built around
the analysis of signals in serial production by detection of unexpected events for preventive
maintenance purpose or process input drifts.

The fully automated CAD-CAM chain is intended to work with a variety of different blade types, as many of the parts will probably differ in their geometric designs, not to mention varying levels of tip damage.
It works by first processing a blue light 3D scan of the blade tip, which allows the HybridTech algorithms to morph and adapt the build to the shape of each individual turbine blade. Then, nested directly in the powder bed, the damaged components are covered and printed directly on top of, enabling 3D printed features on originally investment casted blades.
Although the extent of the technology’s application is still largely unexplored, the company has already manufactured the first set of hybrid blades with integrated cooling structures. Siemens Energy is currently in the process of converting its existing standard repair procedure to the new one, and has stated that HybridTech is to be applied to other conventionally manufactured components in the near future.
Damaged blades are nested in the powder bed before cooling structures are printed on. Photo via Siemens Energy.
Siemens already has a history of adopting 3D printing technology, so advancements in critical component repair shouldn’t come as a surprise. The company recently opened its Advance Manufacturing Transformation Center (AMTC) in the western part of Singapore in Tuas. Considered a first-of-its-kind competence center, the 800 sq.m. AMTC comprises three elements; a Digital Enterprise Experience Centre (DEX), Additive Manufacturing Experience Center (AMEC), and Rental Labs.
Towards the end of last year, the company also opened a test facility to pilot an additive manufacturing series production line as part of the Industrialization of Digital Engineering and Additive Manufacturing (IDEA) project. The work is ultimately intended to enhance the serial production capabilities of laser PBF, increasing the technology’s productivity while cutting development and throughput times by 50%.

Two Mitsubishi Power G-Series air-cooled (GAC) advanced class gas turbines will power the 993 MW Montgomery County Power Station, operated by Entergy Texas.
The companies are exploring integrating hydrogen-enabled gas turbine technology to decarbonize power generation at Entergy’s utility businesses in Texas and three other states through a collaboration announced in September 2020.
Mitsubishi Power’s G-series turbines are capable of operating on a mixture of up to 30% hydrogen and 70% natural gas. The gas turbines can be outfitted to operate on up to 100% hydrogen in the future.
The Montgomery plant’s G-Series gas turbines are the 93rd and 94th to reach commercial operation worldwide. For Entergy, they are the fifth and sixth to reach commercial operation, joining others at Entergy Louisiana’s 994 MW Lake Charles Power Station and 980 MW J. Wayne Leonard Power Station.

What's more relevant and valuable...an opinion based on personal experience or an opinion based on objective evidence and facts?
It's clear some can't see or understand the difference.
Some can't see the objective evidence resulted in 100k profit this year, and baseless personal opinions resulted in years of bag holding losses and selling out.
To each their own I suppose.

Again, this tired opinion has no basis and no facts to back it up.
So, thanks, but it's useless.

Multiple posts for some time now have been promoting the idea that Sigma Labs has been left in the dust as companies are heading into production.
With about 5 minutes of due diligence from Sigma labs customers as sources, this is far from the truth and based on pure speculation.
The quote from the referenced page, and many other direct quotes, papers, references and otherwise from multiple companies proves this is not the case, and many are still preparing for mass production of parts and MRO networks.
Not only are many of the largest early adopters of AM not yet in full production, we also know that Sigma Labs technology provides a significant ROI for any company producing a significant number of AM parts.
Sigma recently published a paper describing this in detail.
The few companies boasting of printing 10s of thousands of parts are doing so with extensive destructive CT and time consuming part loss per build from errors or otherwise. This is well documented, not an opinion.
Investors shouldn't be concerned about contracts week by week, but year over year.
The progress Sigma Labs has made with contracts AND product development is outstanding.
Signing contracts with multiple end users and OEMs while advancing the software significantly is a tremendous feat.
The idea the company hasn't signed a contract in a few weeks and it's the end of the world is exhausting.
It's been a constant theme and it's lazy and tiresome, in my opinion.

Sigma Labs customer Airbus describes how manufacturing of additive manufacturing parts is just now beginning in the aerospace industry, with the largest growth yet to come.
Sigma Labs customers
Airbus and Honeywell mentioned here.
Relevant.
For example, the GE9X engine was just qualified by the FAA and production beginning soon, with the engine release in 2022.
Being the most advanced companies in the industry, companies such as Airbus, Honeywell, Mitsubishi, Baker Hughes will see tremendous growth as early adopters. The remaining industry giants will follow with just as much monies invested in the industry.
By spreading the fixed costs such as the setup of their L-PBF machine and powder layup across more parts, the AM division of Airbus can drive down the cost per part of developing wingtip fences and other parts by printing a full four-part wingtip fence shipset in one run, the company's head of AM solutions said.
Airbus is one of many aerospace companies exploiting the use of additive manufacturing for different purposes, especially replacing conventional manufacturing with an additive to lower costs. Other recent examples include Honeywell Aerospace, which marked a major additive manufacturing technical milestone in August, by creating what the company described as the "first certified, flight-critical engine part using additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing," in an Aug. 19 press release.
The part is further described by Honeywell as the "#4/5 bearing housing, is currently in production and was installed on an in-service engine." Dassault's Falcon 20G maritime patrol aircraft, used by the French Navy for patrol and search and rescue missions, operate ATF3-6 turbofan engines that use the additively manufactured bearing housing.
Elsewhere in the industry, Boeing’s 777X is another example of how far 3-D printing has come in the aerospace industry. The 777X, which completed its first test flight on Jan. 25 and is projected to enter into service by 2022, features two GE Aviation’s GE9X engines each with 300 3D printed parts. GE9X features 3D printed fuel nozzles, temperature sensors, heat exchanges, and low-pressure turbine blades are among the many parts made by GE Aviation’s Additive Technology Center, which added 27 Arcam electron beam melting (EBM) machines to its Ohio facility last year to titanium alumni blades for the 777X engine.
These are prime examples of how the AM mass production industry is just beginning. It takes a lot of time and expertise to set up entire factories for AM like these companies just began doing in the past couple years.
Now, these factories are ready for mass production.
Sigma Labs is ready too.

Yeah, however it doesn't mean throwing aways years of R&D in additive manufacturing, halting production on their AM produced parts, or nullifying contracts with companies who help their bottom line with a product that provides ROI like Sigma Labs PR3D does.
The difference between good and bad DD is the ability to recognize correlations and the probability they relate to the hypothesis.
Ie. Hypothesis : airline companies have stopped production bc of the current pandemic affecting the industry.
False. Airline companies have continued to operate. Although affected by the pandemic and a slow couple years, their businesses have continued to pay vendors for their products and have not gone bankrupt.
Hypothesis : Sigma Labs will continue to add value for shareholders by gaining customers and acceptance in the AM industry
True. Over the past few years Sigma Labs customers have increased from a few over a dozen significant accounts. Recently signing contracts with multiple end users for production in Mitsubishi and Baker Hughes. Signed additional OEMs in Materialise and DMG Mori. Signed contract with NIST for standardization and approval within the industry.
See...certain DD has substance and reason...and some is just unfounded and pointless.

Well, flat growth still means production, so not really that big of news.
The entire industry has known of this since the beginning of Covid when the entire aerospace industry was basically halted.
And this bear aerospace market hasn't hurt Sigma Labs pps at all...in fact we've been consistently gaining the past 6 months.
Not surprised to hear a year's old news yet again lol.
In my opinion it was a good try I suppose... not really...but relatively good coming from the writer involved.

Clearly has nothing to do with the company.
