Today we printed a thin-walled partial hemisphere in H-13 tool steel. Such a shape would be extremely challenging to fabricate using conventional machining. It is the largest volume part we have printed to date with a diameter of 5 inches. In recent weeks, the company’s board of directors has authorized the sale of the company after it became clear that we would not be able to attract sufficient investments to operate autonomously. My team has proven that our printing process is viable and robust. The market for the types of parts we can print is universally acknowledged as being very sizeable. The rub, is that it will take two more years, in my estimation, to design, test, and deliver a second generation printer design that will have the requisite capacity, speed and print quality to be successful in the market. We are hopefull that a suitable buyer will emerge that will allow us to cross the finish line.
