I thought the comment made by the cto about still working with GE on standards was relevant since that could imply they hadn't stolen our tech as some here have written. Also the point made that sglb is working on finalizing those standards with others in the industry seemed important. Standards and quality assurance seem to be working together.
The presentation was very informative about the level of sglb tech but also the level of competition. Perhaps this was the whole point of co presenting/promoting the 6500 euro Fraunhofer study. The Fraunhofer study looked at multiple monitoring systems but they only presented here, with and endorsed by sglb.
According to the presentation, the cost to make a metal am part is mostly in the process. One study says 66-82% of AM part cost is build process. The point of the sglb presentation is that the industry now has a high fidelity, highly accurate, (verified by Darpa, Honeywell, and now Fraunhofer) tool to help the industry gain a greater than 10% return on their AM machines build process costs. Plus when they buy sglb for retro-fit or for new machines, the machines can be monitored remotely and build problems can be alerted to immediately, builds saved, problems diagnosed easily, hit start again. The more expensive the part the greater the savings. But maybe more importantly the Printrite3d technology will also build more trust within the manufacturing industry as a whole in the use of AM going forward from here. glta
