Actually, the evaluators have PAID for the product, 20% of the cost of the system.

We were told the evaluations could be as quick as 5-8 weeks but depends on the clients end more than anything (clients have busy schedules too)

We are still within that 5-8 week time frame for most, and there was a major disruption for Christmas in the middle so that time frame may be skewed. There is also the fact that purchases will need to fit in with a companies overall strategy of machines and production facilities, so nothing is a given time wise, it is unlikely contracts will be signed the day after evaluations finish, but the picture you paint of

" people previously "given" the "product" to...

..."pay for it", but still no takers.

just doesn't really take the situation seriously in terms of context.

In the case of Baker Hughes the release also added

If the Test and Evaluation program is deemed successful, we have been encouraged to complete a PrintRite3D® IPQA® system performance validation across a three heterogeneous machine network over a planned Pilot Deployment program.”

So this whole thing is a process, but the further it goes, the bigger will be the entrenched contract at the end.
