imo, with all metal additive manufacturing, being that so much time is invested by a company in the digital design and pre-build prep, the fact that pr3d can save that build before it goes bad will be a useful and valuable tool in any manufacturers AM toolbox. Combine that with the fact that a company using AM has presumably also spent a lot of cash on the software and hardware needed to just get to the start button on that first print. This time and expense is already invested, well before the extremely expensive powder has been loaded in the machine. Pr3d will not only provide an insurance policy against that loss of pre-build time and cost but will also serve as a force multiplier. By saving a build (and powder) before it goes bad, pr3d helps make AM not only repeatable but also profitable. Then, taking things to the next level, Pr3d can be used to document and verify that the build is good. Combine that with the fact that PR3D is OEM agnostic (it works with all major metal printer OEMs) Combine that with the fact that aerospace and medical industries will require traceability and documentation for many am parts. PR3D provides a necessary "common standardized window" for all the metallurgists, engineers and anyone else interested in a certain build, to look through to see what is going on with the print job no matter where they are in the world, what machine they are using and all other materials and process variables. Everybody can now see and investigate using the same data. Combine this with the fact that sglb is now integrated with mtls and the industry backbone. Combined with the fact that sglb is also involved with most major players in am and with almost all other standards, educational, industrial, and governmental agencies related to am - plus the defense department - still gives me some hope for the future. Oh yea I forgot to mention closed-loop control. glta
