(OTCQB:SGLB) (“Sigma Labs” or the “Company”), a developer of advanced, in process, non-destructive quality inspection systems for metal-based additive manufacturing (“AM”) and other advanced manufacturing technologies, today announced that the Company is teaming with Spartacus3D, a unit of France’s Farinia Group, to accelerate its presence in Europe.

“This is an exciting development that builds on our existing relationship with Spartacus3D,” said Mark Cola, President & CEO of Sigma Labs. “We previously announced that Spartacus3D, a leading French AM service provider, had signed up for our Early Adopter Program in 2015; since then, they have fully installed our software and now use it regularly. This new agreement strengthens our partnership and, essentially, makes Spartacus3D our showcase site in Europe. We’ll work together to expand the use of our PrintRite3D® technology as we concurrently build a sales and support presence throughout the continent.
