Please see my responses within your post, copied below. Thank you for your thoughts.
If what she says is true about their plans, then it'll certainly be more than one software company that are needed for this project as I believe it's supposed to include design to finish product. INTERESTING THOUGHT. SO, DIFFERENT SOFTWARE PROGRAMS WITH DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS AND APPLICABILITY AT DIFFERENT POINTS WITHIN THE BEGINNING TO END PROCESS, YOU THINK? AND WOULD YOU THINK ONE OF THE SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS WOULD BE SIMULATION SOFTWARE, AND ANOTHER IN-PROCESS MONITORING? ANY OTHER TYPES OCCUR? Keep in mind, too, that these will only be US based companies and not foreign entities as Morf has stated in the past. I EITHER MISSED THIS STATEMENT OR HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT. DID MELISSA ORME INDICATE THIS IN THE PANEL DISCUSSION VIDEO THAT WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING? IF NOT, CAN YOU REFER ME TO A PARTICULAR SOURCE, PR OR OTHER?
Sigma Labs may not be a huge company, but they did form an official alliance with Morf3D that's revolved around exactly what they're planning. They're also a publicly traded company that trades on the Nasdaq and have a worldwide presence. If that isn't enough, Sigma even went as far as to loan them money to help purchase a new printer. ALL TRUE, BUT ALSO ALL WITHIN THE CONTEXT/ LEADING UP TO A CONTEMPLATED MERGER WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT AGAIN BE A GOAL.
I believe that Sigma reached out to the Navajo before Morf3D did based on past news, (BASED ON WHAT PAST NEWS?) and were likely instrumental in helping the project find a home. There might be grant money involved, which could help all those involved. SO, IF I'M UNDERSTANDING YOU CORRECTLY, YOU'RE DRAWING A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE GROUP EFFORT THAT MELISSA ORME SPOKE ABOUT IN THE VIDEO WE'VE SEEN OF THE PANEL DISCUSSION FROM LAST MONTH AND THE NEWS RE THE NAVAJO DEVELOPMENT? YOU THINK THESE PROJECTS ARE LIKELY ONE AND THE SAME? OR CONNECTED IN SOME WAY?
Most importantly, is the connection between the customers (ARE YOU REFERRING TO EXISTING AEROSPACE CUSTOMERS IN COMMON BETWEEN MORF3D AND SIGMA, (?) OR MAKING THE GENERAL POINT -- THAT MORF'S GROUP PROJECT THAT ORME REFERRED TO IS WRAPPED AROUND AEROSPACE, AND YES, CERTAINLY AEROSPACE IS SIGMA'S LEADING AREA OF SPECIALIZATION AND PARTNERSHIP) and Sigma. Honeywell is already working closely with Sigma for DARPA,and all companies that will be sharing this space are in the Aerospace industry, which is where Sigma's expertise lies. If the companies were all focused on auto parts I may think twice about their involvement, but aerospace is right up their alley and I've seen absolutely nothing that's given me the impression that they're not going to play a huge role in this.
Just the three companies alone that are mentioned in the latest article (WHICH ARTICLE ARE YOU REFERRING TO?) (Boeing, Honeywell, and Lockheed) are worth a combined 386 Billion USD, so there's a lot at stake here and I'm excited about the future for all of these companies involved.
