My guess is that will hurt a lot. My only thing is that is there own product so maybe they would become VHS and all others are beta. But 3rd party ipqa is what’s needed across all printers not just a specific company.
That is what Ruport talked to in his little overview that didn’t talk about the financing.
Doesn’t mean Velo can’t ready there product to be just like PR3D and not care about which printer oem it’s monitoring. Hopefully PR3D announces Closed Loop with Materialise in 2020.
>>>'Our IP portfolio has a virtual moat around the entire quality control industry for additive manufacturing'
this is a quote from the shareholder letter in 2019
Now, what is the value of this IP if Velo3D can just go ahead and use optical and thermal sensing of the melt pool in such a way that they have a working AND closed-loop in situ QA software?
