Jeff, I will do so may be next week as I am traveling...

Short summary:

> Trumpf is forecasting a yearly revenue for metal AM for the next 7 years of 500 Mio Euro (ramping up this year and next year).

> Trumpf targets 20% market share.

> TruPrint 3000 is in the market with first sales and multi laser TruPrint 5000 shortly.

> Trumpf will continuously expand machines and sensor development.

my take away from all that announcements is that Trumpf our German OEM partner is an impressively strong worldwide leader in metal processing machine developments, laser developments, digitalization 4.0 and now also focusing on metal AM with 12.000 employees worldwide.

BTW: revenue of 500 Mio indicates machine supplies of at least 500 per year with Sigma Labs software inside. May be Trumpf will supply the required sensors with there machines.
Trumpf is a solid leg on the ground for SGLB!

From Google Translator: Trumpf also promises much in terms of 3-D printing, in the specialist jargon Additive Manufacturing. In the 3-D-printing in metal one had now arrived in the industrial serial production, said the deputy trump boss Peter Leibinger. Examples include the dental sector, aviation and gas turbines. Trumpf wants to reach a top position here and is targeting a market share of 20 percent in seven years. This would correspond to around 500 million euros in sales. "The topic is very sexy," said Leibinger. This year alone, a further 100 new employees will be hired.
