Well 4026 did validate 3DSIM's software.

Two of the software tools that were evaluated and
validated during the project— Autodesk Netfabb (formerly a
product of Pan Computing) and 3DSIM—are now commercial
offerings that provide the ability to simulate and mitigate
distortion.

And SigmaLabs has partnered with 3DSIM to develop a suite of software.

SANTA FE, N.M., Jan. 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sigma Labs, Inc. (OTCQB:SGLB) (“Sigma Labs” or the “Company”), a developer of advanced, in process, non-destructive quality inspection systems for metal-based additive manufacturing (“AM”) and other advanced manufacturing technologies, today announced that it has entered into a technology development agreement with 3DSIM to pursue commercial metal AM software opportunities for rapid qualification and part certification. 3DSIM, based in Park City, Utah, is a provider of simulation software for metal AM processes.

“Sigma Labs is pleased to announce this agreement with such an innovative organization as 3DSIM,” said Mark Cola, President and CEO of Sigma Labs. “We believe our solutions are complementary and ultimately serve to enable the ability to fully certify AM-manufactured parts and thus reliably print them on demand. We will provide an overview of this collaboration at the AMC Winter Meeting of the EWI, to be held February 10-11 at 3DSIM’s offices in Park City. We continue to expand our presence and are setting the stage for higher growth going forward, as our customers gain confidence in our In-Process Quality Assurance™ (IPQA®) approach to guaranteeing quality on any AM part produced.”

Dr. Brent Stucker, CEO of 3DSIM, added, “We look forward to working with Sigma Labs to develop a suite of software tools for metal powder bed fusion AM. We believe the opportunity for comparing 3DSIM predictions with Sigma Labs' in-process inspection data will provide game-changing capabilities to AM users. Bringing 3DSIM’s modeling capabilities together with Sigma Labs' IPQA® technology will help overcome the single biggest hurdle to wide-scale adoption of additive manufacturing – qualification of AM-produced parts.”

Also, Sigma could have a tie to 4026 through Honeywell, one of the team members.

A collaborative team of three, highly technical, and
competitive aerospace OEMs—GE, Honeywell and United
Technologies Research Center (UTRC)—worked together
with software developers 3DSIM, Pan Computing, and
CDI Corporation to:
• Develop and build canonical geometries for use in
validating the distortion tools.

From the last Sigma 10-K in March of 2016:

Lastly, we are currently a subcontractor to Honeywell Aerospace who was awarded a program in 2015 by America Makes which is designed to address "Design for Additive Manufacturing" ("DFAM") issues. In support of this program, we will use our EOS M290 AM system to build canonical shapes and mechanical test specimens for evaluation by Honeywell Aerospace.

thanks mrbagray. I was wondering where you found that link? Z
