SANTA FE, N.M., Jan. 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sigma Labs, Inc. (OTCQB:SGLB) (“Sigma Labs” or the “Company”), a developer of advanced, in process, non-destructive quality inspection systems for metal-based additive manufacturing (“AM”) and other advanced manufacturing technologies, today announced that it has entered into a technology development agreement with 3DSIM to pursue commercial metal AM software opportunities for rapid qualification and part certification. 3DSIM, based in Park City, Utah, is a provider of simulation software for metal AM processes.
“Sigma Labs is pleased to announce this agreement with such an innovative organization as 3DSIM,” said Mark Cola, President and CEO of Sigma Labs. “We believe our solutions are complementary and ultimately serve to enable the ability to fully certify AM-manufactured parts and thus reliably print them on demand. We will provide an overview of this collaboration at the AMC Winter Meeting of the EWI, to be held February 10-11 at 3DSIM’s offices in Park City. We continue to expand our presence and are setting the stage for higher growth going forward, as our customers gain confidence in our In-Process Quality Assurance™ (IPQA®) approach to guaranteeing quality on any AM part produced.”
Dr. Brent Stucker, CEO of 3DSIM, added, “We look forward to working with Sigma Labs to develop a suite of software tools for metal powder bed fusion AM. We believe the opportunity for comparing 3DSIM predictions with Sigma Labs' in-process inspection data will provide game-changing capabilities to AM users. Bringing 3DSIM’s modeling capabilities together with Sigma Labs' IPQA® technology will help overcome the single biggest hurdle to wide-scale adoption of additive manufacturing – qualification of AM-produced parts.”
