While, as always, you're welcome to your opinion/speculation:

I don't believe this will apply to SGLB. It is intended for very early stage transitions from DoD R&D to commercial. SGLB is well past this point with commercial products, test sites, and various partners. The DARPA programs are also targeted toward helping companies that will be selling into the military markets. Just don't believe that SGLB fits the goals of the programs offered.

Here are some facts:

The TCSP is a voluntary participation program offered to DARPA-funded SBIR/STTR Phase II projects during the contract period of performance (typically 24 months). The goal is to increase the potential for these companies to move their developed technologies, solutions or products beyond Phase II and into the Department of Defense military services, other federal agencies and/or the commercial market.
