Agreed. This is for GE's competitive advantage in AM. GE has already established itself as the world's leader in AM. GE will have NDA's signed by everyone they work with. SGLB is doing JTDA with GE to further develop IPQA for GE's benefit and eventually all of AM's benefit. GE will get the first crack at IPQA and extend their dominance before letting everyone else have at it. I believe that us investors must continue to connect the dots before the contract is publicly awarded. Let's look at what we know.

1) We know that Boeing approved the IPQA process( GE Aviation is building the LEAP engines for Boeing)

2) We know that SGLB was working with Morris Technologies before Morris Tech became GE Aviation.

3) We know that GE Aviation announced the JTDA with SGLB last summer 2013. ( GE expects to save 25% production time by using the IPQA process)

4) We know that Greg Morris included Sigma Labs and IPQA in a presentation I believe it was Nov. or December timeframe 2013

5) SGLB sent two PrintRites systems to an international aerospace company. I believe it was around the Dec 2013 timeframe.

6) We know that GE and SGLB are both working on the same America Makes project.

6) We know that SGLB announced an agreement with MAterialize to implement their PrintRite3D software as an application in thier bundle.

7) We know that SGLB "acquired" a EOS machine a week or two before GE announces that they are buying 100 of them.

I'm sure I left out a milestone or two or three but the point is that these connections are undeniable. SGLB is continuing to work with GE Aviation. It is GE who is driving this for now. SGLB cannot and will not say anything concrete about where they are at without GE's consent. I believe that PrintRite3D is pretty much ready for commercialization and the delay of Inspect is driven by GE who is not quite ready for Inspect to come out yet. They do not want to lose their competitive advantage as GE has put in quite a bit of effort with SGLB to get IPQA to the level that GE Aviation needed it to be. This is all IMHO! GLTA!
