Description
The US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command – Soldier Center (DEVCOM SC) is conducting market research to identify potential college and university laboratories capable of providing research, development, engineering, and modeling supporting advanced manufacturing (AdvM) technologies, systems, and techniques. The Army seeks to select a civilian institution of higher education that has a proven course curriculum and existing research functions focused on AdvM processes, composite research, additive manufacturing (AM), and design for additive manufacturing (DfAM). The institution should have the requisite facilities, security protocols, and faculty to support the Army’s research needs immediately.
• Advanced Manufacturing (AdvM) Processes: expertise in processes that can support large scales, large volumes, adaptive and additive techniques.
• Composite Research in support of AdvM: through-thickness composite research, design and development of new materials, in-depth understanding of microstructure-property relationships in manufactured parts.
• Additive Manufacturing (AM) Technologies: proficiency in metal, polymer, composite, and novel AM processes, materials characterization and qualification for AM feedstock.
• Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM): generative design and topology optimization, lightweighting and part consolidation strategies.
• Core Research & Development Capabilities: independent and unbiased research analysis, systems engineering for complex systems, advanced prototyping and technology demonstration.
• Specialized Infrastructure and Facilities: requisite facilities to conduct state-of-the-art AdvM research and development, collaborative robotics capability, digital manufacturing and digital twin capability.
