Separately, Sigma Labs received an initial contract from the EWI as part of the previously-announced grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the development of in-process sensing and monitoring capabilities to ensure consistent quality in 3D printing. The grant, worth $5 million in total, was awarded to a group of universities, laboratories, and companies in the field of additive manufacturing; Sigma Labs' contract will evaluate the Company's PrintRite3D® technology for monitoring and control applications.
