Luke, I hope this alleviates a couple of concerns. This is from America Makes

Q2 – If I get support from a materials company, must all of the work be publishable? I understand that the purpose is to support the America Makes community, but could some of the work remain proprietary (or would the proprietary part need to be funded separately)?
A2 – If the work is based on Background Developed IP then that portion of the work stays with that organization, but if the work is developed within the project as Consortium Developed IP then the work must be shared with the membership.

Q3 – Who owns IP that is produced as a result of this work (including matching funds from a commercial company)? If IP is owned by America Makes, is there a requirement that IP be licensed to members, and if so, what are the terms?
A3 – The IP is owned by the organization that developed the IP however that IP is subject to the rules outlined in the membership agreement.

The project that SGLB is doing with GE at America Makes is based on the IPQA technology see bottom for reference I know you know about this but for those who don't. We should own that IP. I've been in since 2013 myself and I'm down as well but still believe more than ever that we are in this metallic AM rapid production game. Just waiting on standards, advanced AM machines, tweaking parameters and solidified supply chain. It's looking like a lot of it will be coming together this year. I hope it does come together. I anticipated years ago of making my first profitable sale of SGLB this year but we'd need a 1000 percent gain by year end to get me to breakeven so maybe by 2018.

Led by General Electric Aviation, in partnership with Aerojet Rocketdyne; B6 Sigma, Inc.; Burke E. Porter Machinery Company; Honeywell Aerospace; Montana Tech of The University of Montana; and TechSolve, Inc., this project will address the need for the development of a commercially available, platform-independent Quality Assurance technology for high-volume AM production of aerospace components, which is currently lacking within the industry. The proposed effort will be achieved through the maturation of an IPQA™ technology solution that leverages a development approach, incorporating multiple AM machines and multiple super alloys.
