Vendor Qualification Additive Manufacturing Processes

The US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Ground Vehicle Systems Center (DEVCOM GVSC) is seeking information from vendors to qualify their additive manufacturing processes and materials for use in Army ground applications. The request is open to all metal additive manufacturing modalities, including laser powder bed fusion, wire directed energy deposition, powder directed energy deposition, and binder jet additive manufacturing. Prioritized materials include steel alloys and high-strength aluminum alloys. Respondents are requested to provide data on the quasistatic mechanical performance of their material and process combination, evidence of build quality, and documentation of process controls and quality management systems. • The request is for information only and not a guarantee of future orders. • Respondents must provide data in Microsoft Excel format and submit their cage code with submission. • The request is open to all metal additive manufacturing modalities. • Prioritized materials include steel alloys and high-strength aluminum alloys. • Respondents must provide data on the quasistatic mechanical performance of their material and process combination.
