Management Commentary
"This quarter is further validation of the increasing awareness of the need for a third party in-process quality assurance (IPQA) system," said Mark K. Ruport, President and CEO of Sigma Labs, "Revenues for the quarter were up 182% to $0.7 million on the strength of our first PrintRite3D multi-unit sale to a U.S. Department of Energy contractor as well as a single unit sale to a U.S. National Laboratory. The fact that PrintRite3D was selected by the end users to support metal printers from multiple leading 3D printer OEM's, two of which have their own monitoring systems, further demonstrates the need for standard quality metrics across a heterogeneous set of printers.
"Our focus for the remainder of 2021 and 2022 is to continue to build out our field sales organization with sales and support engineers that have significant industry experience to support our existing partners such as DMG MORI, Additive Industries, Materialise and other industry leading companies. In addition, we are actively pursuing OEM relationships with both new printer manufacturers as well as some of the more established OEMs. We believe both initiatives will further position the company for growth as Additive Manufacturing, and more specifically, 3D metal printing, move from prototyping to full production.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $0.7 million compared to revenues of $0.25 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 0.5 million or 182%. The increase driven by increased PrintRite3D unit sales, including the Company's first multi-unit sale.
