The more than twenty companies signing up for the EAP program obviously saw potential to enhance their 3D metal printing processes with the PrintRite product family. The longer the evaluation period goes on however without receiving an order casts doubt on whether Sigma's claims for the softwares' performance lives up to the real needs of the evaluators. One may argue that the market isn't ready for the benefits that PrintRite provides but I think RFB made a very good point when he said that if PrintRite truly provided the advantages claimed early adapters would begin integrating the software into their production processes earlier rather than later. How long does it really take to evaluate the benefits of a new piece of software? three months, six, nine? When the time period starts getting over nine months to a year one has to question whether the software really meets the needs of the evaluator, and since Sigma is silent on the feedback received we have no way of knowing. Adding more evaluators to the EAP process isn't really going to help until real benefits to the end user are verified by orders.
