Sigma Labs Inc (OTCMKTS:SGLB) is making an explosive move up on big volume after reversing off $0.042 lows. SGLB is a stock with a history of big moves running from sub pennies to over $0.25 a share last year.

The current move up comes after the Company announced that it will hold a launch event at 9:30 a.m. (MDT) on April 14, 2015 for its M290 additive manufacturing metal printer. The M290 – upgraded with Sigma Labs’ proprietary PrintRite3D® software – provides unique, previously-unavailable 3D printing capability, with the Company’s technology enabling compliance to metallurgical and geometric property specifications. Industry and government officials will be invited to attend.

CEO Mark Cola said “Our state-of-the-art EOS M290 system represents the initial step towards establishing a New Mexico-based facility for manufacturing high-precision parts utilizing our advanced quality control technology. We look forward to introducing our software to additional customers and industry participants as we ramp up this business in 2015.”

Sigma Labs Inc (OTCMKTS:SGLB) is focused on serving the aerospace industry and has developed several important technologies including the revolutionary PrintRite3D technology which will allow metals parts to be made by 3D printing or additive manufacturing with fewer flaws and better properties.

The Company’s groundbreaking technology is a rapid healing biomedical implant technology that has already been proven for dental applications and is being investigated for orthopedics. Yet another critical technology is in the area of reactive munitions which provide 50% greater energy with less weight and lower collateral damage for current and future conflicts.

Last year SGLB subsidiary, B6 Sigma, Inc., was a participant on the winning team of companies, universities and national laboratories to be awarded a grant of $5 million by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology. The National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute was designated as the project lead, and Edison Welding Institute will lead collaborative efforts to develop in-process sensing and monitoring capabilities so that tolerances and other quality requirements are consistently achieved. The emphasis of the team’s research will be on providing tools needed for additive manufacturing applications to progress from prototype to market-ready.

In November of last year SGLB announced that it has received a contract from Honeywell Aerospace as part of a Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) Phase II award; Phase I work was completed earlier in 2014. The DARPA program’s goal is to develop an Integrated Computational Material Engineering (ICME) framework to accurately predict the properties of metal components produced using additive manufacturing. Phase II work is expected to begin in the fourth quarter and run through mid-2016, with a total award value to Sigma Labs of approximately $0.5 million.

On January 28 SGLB announced on a preliminary (unaudited) basis, revenue for the fourth quarter was approximately $200,000, marking a substantial rise sequentially from prior quarters in fiscal 2014 and indicative of traction as the Company transitions from a consulting firm to product technology enterprise. In addition, Sigma Labs anticipates significant revenue growth in 2015 versus 2014, and the Company remains on track for the launch of its PrintRite3D® DEFORM™ software during the first quarter.

CEO Mark Cola said “Last year was clearly one of transition for Sigma Labs, and we look forward to improved performance in 2015. Our recent announcement with GE Aviation is an example of the ongoing interest being shown by industry leaders in the 3D metal printing space, as well as growing demand for our proprietary PrintRite3D® In-Process Quality Assurance (IPQA®) software. We are bidding on a number of requests for proposal and believe 2015 will offer many opportunities for new business development. I’m proud of how much we’ve accomplished as an organization but truly feel the best is yet to come.”
