The company also expects that PrintRite3D will reduce manufacturing expenses and virtually eliminate costly post-manufacturing inspections.
Mark Cola, president of Sigma Labs, stated, "It is much more difficult to 3D-print metal parts than plastic parts because they must meet very demanding engineering specifications. PrintRite3D is a suite of quality assurance tools that we expect will enable AM manufacturers to meet the rigorous requirements of metal parts for critical applications and allow end users to use AM metal parts with confidence.”
Cola continued, “The PrintRite3D suite of software and sensors are designed to guarantee that part quality can be monitored in real time and to report any anomalies during production further enabling lights-out production or minimal worker presence on-site."
Cola noted that Sigma Labs is in partnering discussions with a major 3D manufacturer of metal parts. He expects and agreement before the end of the year.
