Towards the end of the Desktop Metals article Jackel provided there is one important paragraph:

"However, any additively manufactured metal part can suffer from internal stresses due to the very nature of being built one layer at a time. I do not think the Desktop Metal processes are going to eliminate this problem, but like their higher energy, more expensive counterparts in this space, they will likely benefit from the wide-ranging R&D for in-process quality assurance (QA) and traceability solutions required for critical applications."

This new process does not eliminate the need for IPQA and hopefully still provides an important role for SGLB technology.
