These are results with the biggest names in the AM industry. Please show me some research which contradicts the following statements from Sigma Labs partners. Sigma Labs is already being accepted by the industry.

"Today, post-build inspection procedures account for as much as 25 percent of the time required to produce an additively manufactured engine component," said Greg Morris, GE Aviation's business development leader for additive manufacturing. "By conducting those inspection procedures while the component is being built, GE Aviation and Sigma labs will expedite production rates for GE's additive manufactured engine components like the LEAP fuel nozzle."

This is why Objective Evidence of Compliance to Design Intent is important. Objective evidence is captured when no human is involved. Therefore, an in-situ (in process) method of sensing and monitoring build parameters and part geometry is preferred. Honeywell is working with Sigma Labs to develop two separate quality systems that will help make this possible. Below describes how this technology is being developed and how it will work.

« We are thrilled to start this collaboration with the Sigma Labs team, with whom we share common vision and approach. By joining Sigma Labs’ Early Adopter Program (EAP) and integrating PrintRite3D® on our metal AM machines, Spartacus3D is the first French company to invest significantly in the field of real-time in-process quality control. This project is well-aligned with our strategy which is to offer solutions adapted to serial production, for industries requiring the most stringent quality standards, such as aerospace, defense and medical. », explains Charles de Forges, General Manager of Spartacus3D.

“This is a superb chance for Sigma Laboratories to achieve extra publicity inside the protection and aerospace business, especially included in a made to determine certification needs and requirements for 3D-published bomb elements. We anticipate the rollout of those applications in 2016 and enjoy the confidence that equally Aerojet Rocketdyne and also the U.S. Airforce have put into Sigma Labs.”

In order to enable rapid qualification, Honeywell is developing a holistic risk based probabilistic framework that relies significantly on ICME models to optimize process to design intent and mitigate risk by incorporating process monitoring and IPQA. A high level schematic of the probabilistic framework is shown below in Figure 16. It integrates an ICME framework for predicting material properties based on processing parameters, with design and lifing models.
