Seeing as Sigma Labs business model extends past new printer sales by a continuous subscription and update model and not a simple one off purchase, they are not limited to just one year printer sales.
And it is purely fact.
Current market cap 50 million
Current Market size ~1.6 billion
Sigma Labs is ~5% capture rate of current AM market.
Projected AM market size 30 billion
Projected market cap at 5% capture rate 1.5 billion valuation for Sigma Labs.
Projected 30x increase for shareholders if Sigma Labs continues on their current trajectory and captures 5% of the market.

Nobody said it needed to "dominate the market" for Sigma Labs for to be profitable and have tremendous growth.
Current market cap ~50M
Current metal AM revenues ~1.6billion
Sigma Labs is 5% of the market, before even actually capturing much revenue. Once some of the projected revenues start coming in...more than 5% will be recognized.
Metal AM revenues projected to be ~30 billion by 2030.
5% capture rate would be 1.5billion market cap for Sigma Labs, or a 30x multiple on the valuation now.
If Sigma Labs continues their successful business model, they could easily capture 5% of the projected market, just as they capture 5% of the current AM market before they are even capturing significant revenue.
Sigma Labs doesn't need to "dominate the market", they just need to capture 5% of it to be very successful.

Actually only facts DMG Mori just fortified their original contract and stated they intend on advancing the integration and capability of both their and Sigma Labs product.
The idea that the contract is worthless and based on the technology being worthless and a low technology product is the fact free part imo.
Bc there's literally no facts to back that idea up.
More and more AM OEMs and end users continue to sign contracts with sigma Labs, contracts increasing, employee headcount increasing, shareholder equity increased 16x in the past year+.

Unfortunately has no forecast or trajectory on what's currently happening within the industry, and DMG Mori is an OEM unlike GE who at the time was just an end user, again comparing apples to oranges yet again imo.
One year, three years...a deal with another worldwide OEM further solidifies Sigma Labs technology and the fact their already moving forward and advancing the integration proves their intent to enhance their product by pushing Sigma Labs technology.

Yeah, what is really difficult about Sigma Labs technology?
years of literal scientists at Los Alamos lab developing and using highly sophisticated technology to create a system that is able to monitor the printing process that previously didn't exist sounds pretty easy. Could probably be knocked out in a week at the local metal shop.
And then to incorporate machine learning and advanced algorithms to predict and analyze defects in real time, and be able to adjust the process to correct a print...could probably have a service technician from the local bank figure that one out.
Sigma Labs definitely doesn't have anything advanced that it proprietary and patented imo.

Wow! Look at that ... A follow up contract after an original one was signed by DMG Mori....Almost like companies take time to evaluate and decide further usage at their own pace imo. DMG Mori qualifies PR3D for their products.
DMG Mori moving ahead
SANTA FE, NM – September 9, 2021 – Sigma Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGLB) (“Sigma Labs”), a leading developer of quality assurance software for the commercial 3D metal printing industry, has been selected by DMG MORI as the official supplier of In-process Quality Assurance (IPQA) monitoring systems for its prestigious DMG MORI Qualified Products (DMQP) program.
The DMQP partnership enables DMG MORI to bundle Sigma Labs’ PrintRite3D with their LASERTEC 12 SLM, LASERTEC 30 SLM and LASERTEC 30 Dual SLM 3D line of metal printers. The Sigma Labs official supplier designation further solidifies the two companies previously announced worldwide agreement on December 18, 2020 where DMG MORI selected Sigma Labs as its preferred melt pool monitoring system for their LASERTEC SLM machines.
The DMQP program generates synergies out of machines, peripherals and accessories with the very highest quality standards. It combines innovation and technology expertise from selected partners, who have been exclusively awarded the premium seal of quality for their products. DMG MORI will build all LASERTEC SLM machines as PrintRite3D Ready and offer the integrated solution as a factory option.

Evidence Sigma Labs customers are utilizing the technology they took months to evaluate and spend a substantial amount of time and money to acquire...exactly that lol.
Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in the evaluation and purchasing process and incorporating it into the AM process that also takes extensive amounts of time and money is the evidence.
Successful companies do not waste either, and the companies purchasing Sigma Labs technology happen to be some of the most successful in the industry, by fact and imo.
Evidence that Sigma Labs customers wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars evaluating and purchasing Sigma Labs technology just to throw it away? Zero evidence.
These companies don't make mistakes "like everyone else" nor are the prone to them. Laughable stance imo. They are highly trained professionals who make the best decision for their company and agenda. Clearly a foreign concept to some imo.

in the fact they're a multi-billion dollar company with the highest educated and expert AM professionals who evaluated Sigma Labs product over a extended period of time, were granted the funds to purchase the software, took the time (anywhere from weeks to months) to work with Sigma Labs to set up the software, additional weeks to months to set up parameters for a particular part or groups of parts.
This would have put the time frame of them actually getting the product up and running (especially with Covid restrictions and shut downs occuring during the time) at best at mid 2020, and total investment in multiple hundreds of thousands in product cost and paid time.
Companies who make investments in technologies and equipment that cost hundreds of thousands in expenses and personnel from the ordering to installation, do not often just throw away all that money and time for nothing.
These companies are smarter than that and extensive DD is done before purchasing expensive equipment.
That is why over the years, Sigma Labs relationships with the largest AM companies in the field has not only validated the software, but also secured their position as the leader in IPQA.
No other 3rd part IPQA software is as widely used and currently being tested and evaluated or currently utilized as Sigma Labs IPQA.
If you listen to Sigma Labs presentations on setting the software for different builds, you would understand the time and testing that is necessary to set parameters, especially across multiple builds and printers.
As this is a new technology, yet sigma Labs has secured contracts and worldwide distribution already, the footprint is already there to continue growth.
Amazing that a company signs a contract, selling their software with one of the largest AM players in the game and people still argue it's worthless or not being used? Companies don't often spend hundreds of thousands on accident to watch it sit on a shelf. Heads would roll. Not happening with Sigma Labs product.

I think learning to read Sigma Labs earning reports might help the confusion here and will see shareholder equity increased 16x over the past 2 year directly resulting in the value per share imo.
Shareholder equity increased 16x in two years resulting in tremendous profits for shareholders by fact and imo
And investment only occurred over 5 years, profts sit at over 100k (after taxes), equivalent to ~20k a year, as a supplemental income, alongside full time job equaling ~100k a year (after taxes), give or take 10k depending on bonuses, and not counting other profitable investments and some other portfolio moves made, imo
So yeah, I'd say it was a well worth while endeavor, especially as profits are currently reinvested in Sigma and elsewhere and already in the green, imo

Sigma Labs continues to improve value for shareholders by improving shareholder equity ie. the real tangible equity per share that shareholders own, by fact and imo.
Shareholder equity increased 16x in two years.
This is a fact. It directly led to hundreds of thousands in profits for even a modest investment. The cost analysis wouldn't make sense to be that involved in the actions of a company just for 10k imo. But, watching and following the actions of a company for a years salary (over 100k profits), while still holding a nice position and then being able to continually add and profit from the already realized gains, does make sense imo.
Just because it's not a possibility to some, doesn't mean it's not a possibility to others imo.

16X improvement in shareholder equity in two years, by fact
As this place is for investors interested in making profit, by proper due diligence and investing strategies, these undeniable company improvements could lead to hundreds of thousands in profits for even a modest investment imo.

Love the opinion that Sigma Labs is failing while improving the product significantly YoY to the point it's winning Innovation awards.
Company still failing while increasing shareholder equity 5x from 2019 - 2020 from ~1M to 5M,And then again 3x from 5M to ~16M from 20-21.
An amazing increase in shareholder equity ~15X increase in 2 years. Absolutely amazing progress on the balance sheet imo.
All while signing significant contracts with DMG Mori, Lockheed Martin and Ermaksan.

Appreciate the opinion, however that would only be true if ample profits weren't taken, which they were, imo
Only if those invested and profited from Sigma Labs didn't take profits and buy additional shares at a lower cost, and just sat on their shares like nincompoops, would they have lost value in profits, imo.
Wouldn't make any sense to hold and lose value, versus buying more shares with profits and increasing total investment to increase total profits, imo.
Bagholding is not an investing strategy, it's redundant imo.

Unfortunately failed to mention that those "back to $2" calls included if the PPS even touched 2.99 for a minute...even though the PPS rose to $4, $5, and $9, during the 6 months to a year that the incorrect "back to $2" call remained.
Any investors of Sigma Labs would have missed big money waiting for back to $ while the price was at 4,5, and 9 for the past year imo

Nobody said a white paper equals sales and to think it does is preposterous, imo.
It simply validates the science, which is what the opposition has consistently argued that the technology simply doesn't work, when it has been thoroughly documented to be more efficient than the current OEM or other third party technologies.
Literally was just stated the product hasn't been tested, when it is clearly documented it has, and worked properly across a variety of printers and metals
So once again, opinions without facts remain just opinions, while opinions based on scientific facts hold true.

“The IPM manufacturers have tested their systems using different methods and demonstrated the capabilities of their products in different ways,“ says Mr. Lindecke ”However, little effort has been made to test the system under similar conditions by a third party. That’s why my department has decided to take the role of an independent tester to evaluate the capabilities of such systems.”
This refers to the Testing of the system of the IPM manufacturers of machines.
As we all know, Sigma Labs specifically has tested their product against many OEM systems and proved the validity and accuracy of their product.
See white papers for evidence.
However, OEMs have consistently not provided nearly as much data on how or why their software works, and has no third party measuring stick like Sigma Labs to prove it is or isn't, and regularly relies on CT or other methods to prove a build after the fact.
