The industry is here to stay IMO, but be careful of various technologies that might develop in a young industry making yours/ours obsolete.

In Sigma's example, it is important for them to move fast and capture the market, and continue to evolve with the fast changing industry.

They have a patent(s), which is key, however lets say a new 3D printer came to the market that is faster, uses better material, more user friendly and the process is different than what Sigma patented. Then Sigma's technology becomes worthless.
Not saying this will happen, just saying Sigma isn't bullet proof.

This is why they have to move fast, and use their profits wisely to continue to evolve as the 3D printing industry evolves.
I'm sure there are better examples, but only one I can think of now is Polaroid. Maybe they had a patent on their technology, but with the communications era emerging, with the high-speed internet, mobile phones etc., their technology is worthless. They failed to evolve. Probably not the best example, but I think you get what I'm trying to say.

Sigma Labs just needs to be very aware of the moving/changing pieces in the 3D industry and stay on top of it. Even if they initially succeed over the next couple of years, they can't sit back and relax.
