Sigma Labs Inc (SASI)

I'm still confident about our GE connection. The following quotes to me show the a plan that Dot connectors have been following:


First in 2013 GE announces partnership with Sigma Labs

"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."

In early 2014
The America Makes IPQA project with GE and Honeywell to mature Sigma Labs IPQA because according to the project.

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.

Then is 2014 Materialise announces partnership with Sigma Labs

Materialise is proud to announce a new partnership with Sigma Labs, Inc. to integrate Streamics with Sigma Labs PrintRite3D® products to improve services for metal-based Additive Manufacturing.

Then Dec 2016
“As we ramp up production on the LEAP fuel nozzle, Materialise Streamics will be our production control software for Additive Manufacturing. It will be an invaluable tool to help us save time and eliminate manual processes,” Greg Morris, Additive Technologies Leader at GE Aviation.

I continue to see this as part of the plan. It was not about simply using PrintRite3D but combining it with other technologies that would fit in an ICME like framework. It will be a suite of tools such as identified in the Rapid qualification framework where IPQA is smack in the middle. The ICME framework and GE, plus industry wide adoption is something that I've been preaching for a while on this board. The winning on the DAPRA Phase 3 contract was a HUGE indicator for me to purchase even more SGLB. I wish you the best with your investment.
