My husband was there and listened to a lot of those 3D printing talks… will have to ask him about it.

SGLB indicated that they were not yet working with EBM; so it is likely not related to their work. Not sure if/how the patent may be effected.

The process they are referring to was utilizing Arcam EBM equipment. They are the ONLY powder bed EBM company. For those interested, Arcam is a steel at current prices IMO.

That is referring to nickel based alloy,
so not even the TiAl that is required
for high temperature performance parts,

and also the size structures they are
talking about is about the same if not
bigger than SGLB tech. SGLB can go to
the mm2.

Might be great for EBM but
DMLS is much more precise and
leaves a better finish.

Oh and its a laboratory so they are
probably 5 years from a fully developed
system like SGLB has. No worries.
