Laser Powder Directed Energy Deposition (LP-DED) of GRCop-42 with a Green Laser
The Colorado School of Mines (“Mines”) seeks bids for a Directed Energy Deposition (“DED”) Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) machine (“Machine”) on a “FOB Destination, prepay and add” basis. Mines requires a blown powder Directed Energy Deposition (“DED”) Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) machine (“Machine”) capable of fabricating...
The goal of these manufacturing technologies is to reduce overall mission and support costs, associated schedules, and improve performance.NASA is realizing the benefits of additive manufacturing (specifically laser powder-bed fusion (L-PBF) and laser powder directed energy deposition (LP-DED)) through past significant investments.
NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has a requirement for a small-scale ultrasonic rePowder atomizer capable of converting small form factor solid refractory metal feedstock (bar, sheet, scrap, sponge, rod, foil, wire, piece metal) into spherical and near-fully dense powder in the powder size distribution (PSD) for Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) and Laser Powder Directed Energy Deposition (LP-DED) additive manufacture (AM).
THIS PURCHASE ORDER IS FOR PROVIDE C103 POWDER FOR DIRECTED ENERGY DEPOSITION (DED) ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING AS PER ATTACHED QUOTE 150592-3 08/17/2021..DELIVERY DATE 10/01/2021 Solicitation ID/Procurement Identifier: 80NSSC21P2519 Ultimate Completion Date: Fri Oct 01 17:00:00 GMT 2021
As part of this mission, NETL has an immediate need for a dual wire- and powder-fed Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Additive Manufacturing (AM) machine to support research in metal additive manufacturing. The machine shall have maximum flexibility for supporting a wide range of DOE and NETL research projects and also include robust in-site processing monitoring and closed-loop control.
The machine is used regularly for the removal of Additively Manufactured (AM) parts built with Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED) machines to conduct research in the metals-based additive manufacturing technologies for the purpose of developing and deploying advances in measurement sciences.
