Well I'd imagine since GE Aviation having an invested interest in PrintRite, I can't believe Sigma didn't run it buy GE in picking Adurant. Just a logical assumption. It would be nice to see who Adurant's other clients are, the website doesnt have any info on that.
The positive news here is that they are showing signs of being closer to production/release which jives with their stated timeline.
I view the agreement as if they hired some consultants to deploy the data side of PrintRite. There is nothing Earth-shattering about this announcement...just another step along the path.
