3D Systems Corp (DDD)

This is what I know.

Additive manufacturing will never grow into large scale industrial manufacturing without closed loop in process quality assurance. The post destructive processing alone doesn't make it viable. OEM's like DDD need to invest there or purchase the system upgrade from somebody else, and offer it. The only company in that game is Sigma Labs, with IPQA.

Others are trying to develop, but SGLB has a lead. The closest is maybe GE, who are more than 5 years behind. But they are doing it via accoustics. Just doesn't compare to what SGLB has.

Anyway, I digress. Customers are not rushing in and buying up like the hype suggestd because it's still not fast enough as an end-to-end setup.
