Question Regarding Sigma Lab's IPQA
From Engineering Q&A with Mark Cola:
Mark Cola:
Recent contract awards include a project with Honeywell Aerospace funded by the Defense Advanced Projects Agency – DARPA - on the application of our PrintRite3D to AM metal parts.
This project is ongoing and is vitally important because it provides Sigma Labs an early opportunity to demonstrate how its in-process, real-time NDI technology (i.e., PrintRite3D) will reduce unnecessary post process inspection costs and improve quality for AM of highly-critical, aerospace metal components.
"Our preliminary results have indicated the ability to differentiate between different processing conditions. We are working with OEMs like HW to determine how best to integrate PrintRite3D Quality data into existing production standards and acceptance criteria."
I'm curious as to what the board thinks of this comment. I know this is old, but this doesn't scream success with flying colors to me.
Response :
This was a very positive statement from Cola. Sigma's in-process quality assurance (IPQA) was actually accepted by Boeing and written as part of the manufacturing process:
