Sigma Labs Inc (SASI)

[GetRich1day]

Wow!! All the Doom and Gloom because of a low quarter of earnings. I'll pay attention to the AM industry and what the companies are saying and doing.
The Future of AM at Caterpillar

So far, AM has already begun to have an impact at Caterpillar, and DelVecchio expects that impact to increase. Through its Solar Turbines subsidiary, Caterpillar is manufacturing its first end part, a fuel swirler with unique geometry. Surface tools and prototypes have also been 3D printed by the company. With its M1, Caterpillar was able to 3D print an elastomeric grommet for its aftermarket business, which DelVecchio said is not only essential to the company at large but will also play an important role in its AM strategy going forward.

The industrialization of 3D printing continues with the announcement that Sigma Labs Inc., (OTCQB:SGLB) has won a contract from Solar Turbines Incorporated, a subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT).

Under the contract Sigma Labs will install PrintRite3D software on a 3D Systems’ ProX300 machine, with the potential for multiple system orders as the company ramps up to full serial production.

Also key to the reproducibility of the MetalFAB1 3D printing process are two partnerships. Sigma Labs, a spin-off of Los Alamos National Lab in New Mexico, has commercialized an in-process monitoring tool called PrintRite3D, which combines sensors with software to provide real-time feedback on the 3D printing process in order to analyze the variables that yield an optimal part. About this partnership, Kersten remarked, “We monitor the melt pool through a solution developed by our partner Sigma Labs, because they’re experts in that field. There’s no reason why we would reinvent the wheel if it’s already been invented by someone else.”
