SANTA FE, N.M., Oct. 20, 2014 -- 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 and other advanced manufacturing technologies, today announced that it has launched commercial activities for 3D printed parts. The Company has begun receiving requests for quotes for the production of precision metal parts in connection with the pending delivery of the Company's new Model 290 3D metal printer. The machine is scheduled for arrival at Sigma Labs' facilities in Santa Fe, New Mexico by the end of October 2014. The Company expects to complete the installation and integration of the machine with its PrintRite3D quality assurance system by the end of November 2014.


"We are pleased that we will soon have the ability to begin commercial production of 3D printed parts upon the installation of our new state-of-the-art M290 3D metal printer," said Mark Cola, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sigma Labs. "Our successful marketing efforts have resulted in the receipt of advance requests for quotes for 3D printed parts. This demand recognizes our unique value proposition which brings together the latest in 3D metal printing machinery with our PrintRite3D technology for high-end, precision metal parts."

As previously disclosed, the new EOS M290 will allow Sigma Labs to enhance its product offerings with respect to its current PrintRite3D suite of technologies, including the successful commercial launch of PrintRite3D INSPECT and the introduction of PrintRite3D DEFORM expected in the first quarter of 2015, as well as permit the Company to provide rapid prototyping and small lot production services. Upon full installation of the EOS M290 in conjunction with Sigma Labs' platform technologies, the Company will be positioned to execute on any orders received for contract manufacturing of precision parts and for the deployment of new service launches. Collectively, Sigma Labs will deliver on its mission of providing advanced manufacturing technologies to help customers reduce process development times, reduce inspection and part rejection costs, and get parts into production faster.

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight

The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
