Don't forget that we have a couple of LEAP engine milestones coming up. Did Sigma get a boost when the 1C came on line last September?

LEAP 1B fires up in June. LEAP 1A flight tests in September.

In addition to INSPECT commercialization which has been noted, I'd suggest a few other items which could be PRd to the pleasure of shareholders:

Vivek Dave:the work with Michigan Tech deals with a low cost approach. We do not have any additional comments at this time other than the comments regarding the tradeoff between accuracy and cost, and making sure that the right printer is targeted towards the right application.



Sigma's low-cost arc-welding printer could make substantial progress.

Vivek Dave:regarding revenue generation from BAM and ARMS - we will announce these as they arise but they are linked to developments with our partners who will take our technology under license to market



Sigma could successfully license BAM/ARMS through their licensing partner. Personally I don't think this would be that big a deal as the royalty payments are quite small, but it would enhance their reputation and any added revenue at this time is important.

Vivek Dave:Regarding Printer OEMs - we are of course very interested in in aspect because it is very convenient to have the hardware fully integrated at the printer factory. We cannot comment at this time on discussions we may or may not be having.



Sigma could announce product integration with a Printer OEM.

Vivek Dave:regarding future opportunities outside of AM - we have demonstrated our analytics engine on other manufacturing technologies and we do see significant potential outside of AM.



Sigma could enter into a business relationship with a non-AM company, for non-AM work related to their analytics engine.

Vivek Dave:Where will Sigma Labs be in 5, 10 , 20 years. However we fully expect to grow beyond just aerospace AM and the underlying technology is applicable to dozens of manufacturing processes.



Sigma could enter into a business relationshop with a non-aerospace AM.

And of course any new info coming out of the agreements with GE, Honeywell or unnamed AM companies. Keep in mind, Materialise came out of left-field, as did the delivery of DEFORM to Honeywell for Beta testing. There seems to be an awful lot going on right now with Sigma and I don't think anyone can predict what news will come and when.
