Thanks JJ, that's a very interesting article i missed before. I know Sigma were working with Metronics but i thought it was more in terms of a sales route into GE. What you have explained there is a lot more in depth involvement into their systems, to compliment their existing technology (and Boeings). This is huge too, and while the GE link is already massive, this Metronics link may actually prove to be equally as big. The fact they compliment Boeing's technology (Who we know Sigma already works with) is brilliant.

On an aside.. some of the photo's of defective parts are scary... and all hidden from the eye.. more i look at it the more I really want PrintRite3d out there!!!!

I also wanted to add the joint study by Mark Cola & Vivek Dave in welding deformities.

Los Alamos Labs studies in shapes and contours:

Mark Cola and Vivek Dave et. al. study in stress mapping: The method is similar to that of using CMM's to calculate angles but compares the points measured by neutron diffraction (to obtain an image):

Their knowledge fits perfectly with Metronics expertise in lasers and alignment.
