Sigma Labs Furthers Strategic Alliance with Morf3D

SANTA FE, N.M., March 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sigma Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ:SGLB) (“Sigma Labs” or the “Company”), a provider of quality assurance software under the PrintRite3D® brand, today announced that it has made an investment in the principal amount of $500,000 to Morf3D, a strategic partner, pursuant to a secured convertible promissory note (the “Note”).

The Note further extends our strategic alliance and supports Morf3D's leasing of an EOS M400 system to expand production for contracts related to additive manufacturing (“AM”) of high-precision aerospace & defense (“A&D”) components. Morf3D currently one of a handful of companies qualified for additive manufacturing of production flight hardware for key Aerospace and Defense OEMs. This agreement strengthens Sigma Labs’ strategic alliance and is in contemplation of a possible merger of combined interests with Morf3D.

“As we continue to cement our long-term relationship, this convertible note will enable Morf3D to acquire new equipment, increase its production capacity, and, in tandem, use Sigma Labs’ PrintRite3D® QA software as it expands its additive manufacturing offerings to customers,” said Mark Cola, President and CEO of Sigma Labs. “Together with Morf3D, we are excited to take this next step and assess ways to further align our businesses to be able to provide a complete, integrated AM solution for A&D customers and, potentially, build an organization that can oversee the entire AM value chain – from material selection to design and manufacturing, as well as in-process quality assurance. We could then better serve the entire A&D industry, which is rapidly transitioning to 3D metal manufacturing.”

Ivan Madera, Morf3D CEO, added, “This transaction by Sigma Labs represents yet another significant step in realizing our mutual industry vision in delivering an unmatched and unique supplier-partner offering to the aerospace, defense and industrial markets.  Our objective is to deliver a seamless and fully-integrated digital manufacturing enterprise using the most advanced AM technologies. We’ve seen success with our client-collaboration business model, and now we’ll expand this with Sigma’s industry-leading quality assurance systems. It’s a truly unique competitive advantage.”
