Seeing how Sigma is currently packing the product and actively selling Deform as part of that package it is probably safe to assume that the current status of Deform is of positive nature
The closer we get to October 1 without hearing about Deform being ready, the less chance of that happening. No one really thinks that Mark is waiting to announce Deform availability until October 1, do they? It's a major milestone and we will hear about it the moment it ships. SGLB is terrible about meeting due dates and I believe the chances are pretty good we are going to see some more slippage here.
