AMC is not new news but helps to explain the partnership Sigma has with these big name players. It was formulated out of a roadmap from 2009 to improving a general AM standard so the whole industry could benefit. Interestingly in the original roadmap Sigma wasn't on the panel, but the need for closed loop process control was mentioned many times as a very important feature that AM would need in order to have industry wide recognition. When AMC was set up as a consortium to basically follow up the roadmap it consisted of twenty two (i think members), of which i listed a few on previous post (i missed out Honeywell, who are also there). Importatly B6 Sigma was also included in the consortium and i can only presume this is because they had the closed loop know how. It all makes sense to me.

The fact that at least two of the industry members of AMC are still using PR3D in their testing is brilliant as far as i am concerned.
