Sigma Labs Inc. (NASDAQ: SGLB) (SGLB Profile) is on the verge of unleashing the dynamic forces of additive metal manufacturing that have been restrained. Long heralded as the fourth industrial revolution, 3D metal printing and its full potential have been stalled due to the high cost and complexities of end-product inspection and quality control. Sigma Labs' [...]
EchoFLOW™ fluid couplant was developed for extreme weather AUT and scanner UT inspections. EchoFLOW is a low cost AUT fluid couplant that is easy to pump in very cold environments (as low as -40°F/C) and will not boil on parts up to 240°F / 115°C. EchoFLOW’s increased acoustic impedance reduces surface noise on rough surfaces and [...]
