Oregon State University is seeking proposers to provide an Advanced Hybrid Laser Directed Energy Deposition and Machining System for its College of Engineering. Responses to the solicitation must be received no later than the due date and time in accordance with the submittal instructions contained in the solicitation document.
The advantages of additive manufacturing are reduction in material costs due to near net shape part builds, minimal machining required, computer assisted builds for rapid prototyping, and mass production capability. Traditional thermal nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques typically use a stationary heat source such as flash or quartz lamp heating to induce a temperature rise.
Also because there is no material to be removed in the manufacture of these magnets, expensive waste is virtually eliminated while (near) net-shape production eliminates the need for grinding and machining which can result in breakage.Potential Applications: Permanent magnets are key elements of compact high power density motors and related actuators, as well as for sensors and transducers such as speakers.
The 3DEMS can be operated in a (1) manufacturing mode through electro-deposition, (2) machining mode through electro-dissolution or etching, or (3) sensing mode through an electrochemical sensor.

Large-scale metal additive equipment with directed energy deposition (DED) or wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) processes. 7. Large-scale concrete or concrete alternative additive manufacturing equipment. 8. Tables or fixtures for manufacturing large-scale composite parts with the following functions: a. Vacuum systems b. Heating systems c. Adjustable heights d. Fixturing for CNC machining operations 9.
We need a hybrid machine which can CNC the printed parts to the required dimensional accuracy. As a secondary process, CNC machining provides additional dimensional accuracy on additive parts while maintaining all the benefits of 3D printing technologies like FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling)This is a Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations.
