Description
The U.S. Government is seeking industrial additive manufacturing equipment, installation, configuration, and manufacturer-led training at Fort Hood, TX. The requirement includes brand name or similar systems meeting or exceeding the capabilities of one Stratasys F370CR and one Stratasys Origin Two 3D printer. The selected contractor will deliver, install, configure, calibrate, and verify full operational capability, and provide manufacturer-led training sufficient to certify Soldiers in safe and effective operation.
Key features of the required 3D printers include:
• Industrial-grade Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printer for producing composite parts
• Minimum build envelope of 355 x 254 x 355 mm (14 in x 10 in x 14 in)
• Support for high-strength composite materials and standard engineering-grade thermoplastics
• Integrated slicing and print management software
• Industrial-grade polymer 3D printer using programmable photopolymerization (P3/DLP) technology
• Minimum build envelope of 192 mm x 108 mm x 370 mm (7.5 in x 4.25 in x 14.5 in)
• High-accuracy printing process suitable for complex geometries and rigorous mechanical applications
The proposal should include information on the proposed solution, installation experience, training program, material and consumables, environment and security, warranty and support, and lead time.
