Specifications for Scalable Metal Additive Manufacturing System (10.18.2023)To meet the rate of output necessary for project success, ORNL is looking to expand their capabilities in metal laser powder bed additive manufacturing. The system specifications that are required are listed below.
OpportunityCanada Agreement Type Tender TypeRequest for Proposal (RFP) Estimated Value Solicitation MethodOpen Laser Powder Bed Fusion Metal 3D Printing System The Faculty of Engineering - Mechanical Engineering Department is looking to procure a turnkey solution along with necessary accessories for operation and powder handling for a selective laser melting system.
This powder can then be used for additive manufacturing feed stock in space, and completing the parts or products by the additive manufacturing in space.Advantages: Metallurgical thermochemical refining during the powder making method is required to produce high quality metal powder from asteroids or meteorites that is suitable for AM processes such as selected laser melting (SLM) powder bed, laser metal deposition (LMD) powder fed, electron beam
Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its multi-resolution nozzle for drop-on-demand additive manufacturing.Background: For 3D printing of metal components, Drop-on-Demand (DOD) Liquid Metal Jetting (LMJ) offers a less expensive alternative to Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing (AM).
In selective laser melting (SLM) or selective laser sintering (SLS), a layer of metal powder is spread across a build area and solidified into a desired pattern using a laser beam that is rastered over the powder surface. Binder jet printing involves spreading a powder layer and selectively applying a polymeric binder using an inkjet-like process.
The atomization system shall be installed at NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland Ohio, and shall be capable of melting and atomizing Fe-, Ni-, Co-, and Cu-based alloys and other non-reactive metals with a melt charge capacity of 20 - 50 kg. The resulting powders will be used in additive manufacturing processes, such as direct metal laser sintering, as well as other general powder metal processes.
