Thoughts on DEFORM/the joint venture....

PrintRite's aim is to Inspect parts/control the deposition. If you look at the data sheet, you notice that on pg 2 are a bunch of companies who manufacture different parts of their components.

The new joint venture is likely due to the fact that they need a different sensor to get that specific data for Deform; however, the overall machine is the same shell/ basic framework as Inspect. (And QS, for that matter.)

This would mean that in the future data sheet we'll see a Metronics logo on the data sheet along with whatever other equipment has gone into their machine.

Remember that Sigma has no in-house manufacturing... They're part of a business incubator in NM... There's no large scale production line, so they special order the hardware and make the machine to suit clients' needs. Very similar to what one of my student's fathers does, except he deals with robotics and the software that controls the machinery- special parts, sensors, controls, tailored to major manufacturers, each with a different setup. He makes bank.

If it's simply a matter of getting new sensor and adapting their program, I can't imagine it would take that long to get it to beta phase. I expect commercialization in Spring.

Just a theory.
