As i understand this "option" a host of companies including GE and Honeywell who have been testing Printrite for the last two years (but have never integrated it into their production schemes (let alone paid full price for the software) are going to band together and support Printrite as an industry standard for in-process quality control. No harm in dreaming, I suppose.
The problem is not with the possibilities its with the failure to get out there and kill something. Now would be good! I am no longer interested in corporate strategy but rather in the reason to have a corporate at all, and not just a non profit orginazation.
Jackle, Thanks nice post! I agree and can see that as a viable option. Honeywell is working with Sigma Labs to "to Build an in-process NDE System for: Objective Evidence of Compliance to Design Intent" as stated in their presentation to industry and government in March this year. SGLB gets to keep the IP for this development as stated via America Makes and I could see Honeywell and/or GE making a strategic investment to protect that IP. http://rube.asq.org/asd/2016/03/industry-government-cqsdi.pdf
