I spoke briefly with EOS as I had met him the week before in Houston. I didn't hang around the Sigma Labs booth much so I can't comment as to how much traffic they got. One other guy came as I was there, but I overheard him say that he was involved with non-metal AM, so I didn't hang around to hear what he had to say.

I didn't attend any of the technical sessions, but I did attend a panel discussion ...

(The title on this link appears to be wrong but the summary is accurate.)

The panel included Mark Benedict who serves as the chief technical advisor for the America Makes National Innovation Institute. He gave a positive implication towards research that was to be completed soon, but did not speak directly. I thought of the America Makes 4027 presentation in El Paso next week, but I had my PR3D colored glasses on.

It was interesting to hear this discussion. What I took away was that AM is still in its infancy. Lots more development to be done before it hits the main stream. I think for us in the short term, the best thing that could happen is for GE to install PR3D into their machines in Auburn.

Did you also speak to the EOS people? Any other impressions?
Others asking any questions, showing interest at SGLB's booth?
