I guess we can ask on Friday and get a non-answer.

indeed no information and worth a question on the call. One thing to remember is that much of the last year or so was spent by Sigma redesigning how they did these evaluations and making them much more efficient. In the early days it seemed to be a little haphazard, but JR and MC realised this needed to change and they have stated that they have made it much tighter, including the intensive workshops etc to educate teams in one place in a short period of time. Of course, as Sigma has found to its detriment, a lot also depends on the times and availability of the end client and its personnel and management and no guarantees can be made on that front, but at least from Sigma's end they have focused on making these evaluations as efficient and timely as possible which is a plus.

topical comment in the reports

Beta test results have demonstrated that Sigma can now install and commence manufacturing test-runs on many AM machines in a 24-hour period and that a proof of concept and value analysis can be accomplished in a matter of weeks, subject to how promptly customers and third-party laboratories commit resources and deliver their feedback on the results.
