It's mind boggling how you can spend so much time here while not even invested... Impressive really. Either way I appreciate your input. I'd choose to do other things with my time, but hey to each their own.

Can't be all that hard to go from nothing to something./quote]

are you seriously trying to say that to go from NOT HAVING a technology (with patents) for in process monitoring of the metal additive process, which is MACHINE AGNOSTIC that can be used to reduce post-build inspections for qualification that has been estimated to reduce overall production-test time by 25% and allows for an individual "fingerprint" for each part is (ahem, I quote) nothing? ... sheesh!!

As an INVESTOR, the whole thing boils down to whether or not PR3D and its underlying technological approach becomes the standard for AM part certification or not. IF through the various grants and projects as well as efforts by corporations and academics NIST, the FAA, Lloyds of London and other insurers, NASA, EWI, and other interested groups who have more than a little control over the certification territory, the technology of PR3D is accepted as either the or one of alternative technologies which would satisfy the to be created standards, THEN Sigma will go parabolic. IF Sigma's technology is NOT ACCEPTED, then the stock certificates will not be worth the paper that they are printed upon.

But questioning "how hard" this might be as a means of conflating the value of the increased revenues with the potential of the technology is, to say it most kindly, a bit disingenuous. This is not opening a chain of pizza restaurants and simply selling a fully mature technology of pizza production and drink sales. This is incredibly "HARD STUFF" and I look to the ongoing relationships that Sigma has with major industry players as a form of consensual validation of not only Sigma's approach, but also the progress being made toward successful completion of the development and subsequent acceptance of this technology by OEMs who will depend on this technology for the production of high value parts.

IF IT IS SUCH AN EASY PATH, PLEASE NAME A SINGLE COMPETITOR IN THIS TECHNOLOGY SPACE WHICH HAS ALSO SHOWN THE SAME PATTERN OF REVENUE GROWTH...and I will accept that they too will show R&D spending, product development, networking, and other business related costs exceeding their revenues to show similar burn rates for cash.
