Sigma Labs Announces Contract for "America Makes" Program

SANTA FE, N.M., Jan. 15, 2015 — (PRNewswire) —  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 been granted its first contract, worth approximately $500,000, from GE Aviation as a member of the winning team, previously announced, of companies and universities awarded an "America Makes" additive manufacturing (AM) research project. This project is funded by the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute (NAMII) and covers Sigma Labs' proprietary In-Process Quality Assurance (IPQA®) software for advanced AM monitoring.  The contract will showcase the Company's PrintRite3D® technology across multiple platforms, in particular high-volume, high-quality aerospace components. Sigma Labs is expected to deploy a total of three systems – one each to GE Aviation and to other team members Honeywell and Aerojet Rocketdyne, a unit of GenCorp – over the next 18 months.

"We are very pleased to announce this first contract under our previously-announced award with NAMII," said Mark Cola, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sigma Labs. "Working with some of the best known companies in the industry, including GE Aviation and Honeywell, we will use this project to further demonstrate our PrintRite3D® technology and provide for additional data collection. We believe awards such as this open up the way for business development opportunities and, at the same time, strengthen Sigma Labs' position in the nascent yet rapidly-growing AM space."
