Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to commercialize its electrostatic powder remover for laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing. Background: Laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing (LPBFAM) machines have grown in popularity for their capability of producing precise metal parts.
Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaborative partnership to further develop and commercialize LLNL’s novel laser power bed fusion additive manufacturing process monitoring and optimization technology based on thermionic emission detection.
THE OBJECTIVE OF 18-EPSCOR R3-0001 IS TO EVALUATE THE QUALITY OF COPPER-ALLOY (C-18150) PARTS MADE BY A POWDER BED FUSION ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING (AM) PROCESS SELECTIVE LASER MELTING (SLM). Solicitation ID/Procurement Identifier: 80NSSC20M0149 Ultimate Completion Date: Thu Nov 18 18:00:00 GMT 2021
It has been determined that American Society for Testing and Materials is the sole provider of Comprehensive Survey of Commercially Available Powder Bed Fusion Metal Additive Manufacturing Systems NASA/NSSC will be the procuring center for this effort. Performance will be located at NASA/ Langley Research Center (LARC).
The solicitation will be issued for a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) to ensure the contractor shall provide and install one (1) laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) Additive Manufacturing systems (M2 – Series 5 Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM) and associated equipment for US Army at Aviation and Missile Center (AvMC), Redstone Arsenal, AL.
The solicitation will be issued for a Firm Fixed-Price to ensure the contractor shall provide and install two (2) laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) Additive Manufacturing systems (M2 – Series 5 Dual Laser 400W) and associated equipment for 76 CMXG at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The systems shall be M2 Series 5 Dual Laser machines with CoCr and Alloy718 capabilities.
Added: Oct 31, 2017 12:35 pm • The machine should be a Powder Bed Fusion system, as defined by the ASTM as "An additive manufacturing process in which thermal energy selectively fuses regions of a powder bed."(REF: International Standardization Organization/ASTM 52900-15 Standard Terminology for Additive Manufacturing.) • The machine's thermal energy source should be an electron beam with a minimum of 3000 watts power.
