A Joint Technology Development Agreement between industry giant GE and microcap Sigma Labs (SGLB) validates Sigma Labs as a substantive player in the 3D printing industry.
I love researching, investing in, and writing about 3D printing stocks that are undiscovered compared to companies like Stratasys Ltd., 3D Systems Inc., and The ExOne Corporation. The reason for this is simple: I believe the greatest potential for share price appreciation lies in finding and investing in 3D printing companies that aren’t widely known by investors yet. This is especially true for companies recognized by additive manufacturing industry leaders such as GE Aviation, or by government-backed research facilities for AM such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).GE and Sigma Labs
Christine Furstoss, the Technical Director for Manufacturing and Materials Technologies at General Electric, wrote an article last week “Adding the Next Layer to Additive Manufacturing.” The article is a great read for those investing in additive manufacturing/3D printing. It explains the leadership role GE has had in AM since the early 1990’s as well as challenges that need to be met for AM to reach its full potential.One of those challenges is to develop the technology for in-process, real-time qualification of metals. This challenge is now being addressed by GE through a JDTA (Joint Technology Develop Agreement) with Sigma Labs....MORE
