I like this part:

We are currently part of the Phase 3 proposal slated to start in September 2016. Also, we were a participant on a GEA led team of companies and universities, which was awarded a research contract by the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute (“NAMII” or America Makes) titled, “ In-Process Quality Assurance™ for Laser Powder Bed Production of Aerospace Components ”. The contract has the stated objective of maturing our In Process Quality Assurance™ (IPQA®) technology for aerospace applications by leveraging a development approach incorporating multiple AM OEM machines, multiple superalloys, and multiple product intent aerospace components. In support of this effort, we were awarded related contracts from the subcontractor Aerojet Rocketdyne to install one of our PrintRite3D® systems and software Apps on a Concept Laser M2 metal AM machine at Aerojet Rocketdyne’s Canoga Park, California facility, as well as a contract from Honeywell Aerospace to make initial test specimens for reliability and repeatability testing using our EOS M290 AM system. We were also part of a large research team, led by the Edison Welding Institute that was awarded a grant funded by the National Institute of Standards (“NIST”) to ensure that quality parts are produced and certified for use in products made by a variety of industries and their supply chains. The emphasis was on providing tools needed for additive manufacturing applications to progress from prototype to serial production. This program was successfully completed in Fall 2015. We are currently a subcontractor to Honeywell Aerospace who was awarded a program in 2015 by America Makes which is designed to address Design for Additive Manufacturing (“DFAM”) issues. In support of this program, we will use our EOS M290 AM system to build canonical shapes and mechanical test specimens for evaluation by Honeywell Aerospace.
