I think the M280... General Electric Aviation ("GEA") purchased Morris Technologies, and its sister company, Rapid Quality Manufacturing, in 2012. At that time, Morris Technologies controlled approximately half of the metal laser capacity in the U.S. As a result, OEMs like GEA and Honeywell Aerospace seek to build internal capacity and secure new sources for AM metal parts. Sigma believes that this service provider market segment provides further opportunity to capture significant portions of the growing demand for metal production parts. Accordingly, Sigma has acquired its first EOS M290 machine in 2014. Using the highly reliable M280 as its base, the M290 adds improved energy efficiencies, faster build times, and slightly larger build platform capabilities. Through our EOS M290 machine, our customers will gain the benefits of many years of M280-proven applications while accessing the latest in DMLS technology, as well as receiving parts produced using our state-of-the-art PrintRite3D® quality assurance technology.
