Sigma Labs to Unveil PrintRite3D INSPECT 3.0 Software at Formnext 2017

Sigma Labs' PrintRite3D® INSPECT™ V3.0 software is a web-based, distributed application featuring 3D Thermal Mapping of the melt pool using Sigma Labs proprietary TED™ (Thermal Emission Density™) metrics.

SANTA FE, N.M., Oct. 16, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sigma Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGLB) ("Sigma Labs" or the "Company"), a provider of quality assurance software under the PrintRite3D® brand, today announced that it will unveil its PrintRite3D® INSPECT™ V3.0 quality assurance software at the international Formnext 2017, powered by tct conference, ( www.formnext.com), that will showcase current and future cutting-edge applications of additive technologies.


Sigma Labs' PrintRite3D® INSPECT™ V3.0 software is a web-based, distributed application featuring 3D Thermal Mapping of the melt pool using Sigma Labs proprietary TED™ (Thermal Emission Density™) metrics. These metrics are an industry first and powered by an advanced analytics engine, designed to meet the needs of users focused on research, development and qualification-level activities as well as day-to-day production activities. The researcher tools utilize in-process sensor data without the need for baseline comparisons providing users the data and framework for focused characterization and analysis leading to rapid process qualification and part certification. Quantitative, in-situ thermal history maps can also be used to validate modeling and simulation (M&S) results prior to process characterization studies, process qualification & validation phases, as well as in conjunction with design optimization evaluations.

"We are very pleased to unveil our next generation PrintRite3D® INSPECT™ Version 3.0 software which includes deep learning algorithms and visualization tools that provide users with unparalleled process characterization, qualification and validation capabilities across the additive manufacturing product QA continuum," said Mark Cola, President and Chief Technology Officer of Sigma Labs. "We believe this release is a milestone achievement for Sigma Labs and the additive manufacturing industry as we drive our products to meet Industry 4.0 standards," he added.

"We believe that Sigmas PrintRite3D® INSPECT™ 3.0 software dramatically enhances additive manufacturing production capabilities with an ease of integration and use that sets Sigma Labs solutions apart from anything on the market," said John Rice, Sigma Labs' CEO. "We are excited to unveil this next generation additive manufacturing solution at Formnext 2017, a forum that could not be more fitting for this release."

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
