Sigma Labs Inc (SASI)

Based on what my husband (metallurgist) has told me in random dinner conversations, it sounds like this will be very useful. Sort of like Comsol for AM... plus Sigma's real-time comparison/verification that the part is in spec with the model.... A nice marriage of simulation/design+QA verification in a single app... rapid qualification of parts.

Also found this from 3DSim: https://fabricationmecanique.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/3dsim-information.pdf

Helps explain a bit of what they, too are doing with GE/Honeywell/DARPA.... glad we are working together. 3DSim and Sigma are very complementary.

I like that they're trying to compile all the materials properties based on the physics and metallurgy of it all.... I can't believe there's not some database. [There's lots of data, tables, etc for individual materials and types, sure- but in terms of having one big, cohesive source for additive-- it's just crazy to me that they're not farther along... like, how do we make anything that functions? lol.] My husband did both engineering AND physics so is always interested in the science behind the practical application...

I'm going to ask him when he gets home about this slide show to explain it to me. :)
