Quality Assurance Software for 3-D Printers

Sigma Labs, Inc., a developer of advanced, in process, non-destructive quality inspection systems for metal-based additive manufacturing (AM) and other advanced manufacturing technologies, has announced the launch of its DEFORM software - part of the company's PrintRite3D family of quality assurance and process control products. Sigma Labs has completed all in-house development and testing. The first fielded application of DEFORM was with Honeywell Aerospace at its AM development facility in Phoenix, AZ.

"We are pleased to announce the launch of our DEFORM software, which complements our existing INSPECT module and further enhances our support of AM applications worldwide," said Mark Cola, President and CEO of Sigma Labs. "While the product was delayed due to the need for additional development and testing, we are excited to offer a unique tool that uses proprietary, in-process algorithms to generate geometrical property data for each layer of an AM build cycle. Our technology offers real-time, layer-by-layer analysis to ensure compliance to production specifications.

"The launch of DEFORM - and its first installation, with Honeywell - represents the achievement of a major milestone for the metal AM industry. Sigma Labs is pleased to help pioneer the advancement of In-Process Quality Assurance (IPQA) in this rapidly-evolving space."

PrintRite3D INSPECT and DEFORM software modules can now be used in combination for embedded, stand-alone or third party platform-independent installations. DEFORM was delivered to Honeywell in October.
