Since the division is active in the polymers based additive manufacturing program, it is essential that the instrument be controllable from the software of the Process 11. Thermo Electron does not have third party resellers of the melt pump and spooler.Given these facts, Thermo Electron, is the only source reasonably available to provide the required equipment and proprietary software. 

The device can control temperature and shear rate while allowing optical access for transmission, polarized, and phase-contrast microscopy.Sole Source justification is based on the following:The Polymer Additive Manufacturing and Rheology Project seeks to replace a NIST owned broken Linkam CSS450 optical shear cell (NIST property number 595296), which can no longer be repaired.
