July 1, 2018
Sigma Labs, Inc., a provider of quality assurance software under the PrintRite3D brand, has announced that it was allowed a seminal patent entitled "Method and System for Monitoring Additive Manufacturing Processes." The patent provides protection for methods of assuring part quality using real-time data from multiple sensor types. The patent enables serial production applications through real-time tracking and reporting of process consistency and part repeatability. The patent being allowed is for the first application filed in a series of 18 patent applications submitted by Sigma over the past five years in the general domain of in-process quality assurance.
Mark Cola, Sigma co-founder, President and Chief Technology Officer, stated, "Our PrintRite3D technology can be used in many additive manufacturing (AM) applications and helps our customers to increase their product time to market (TTM) through a better understanding of their process variance and means by which to control it. Looking to the future, PrintRite3D will allow our customers to achieve product yield improvements during serial production through use of our proprietary software algorithms."
