3D Printing System

Auburn University is seeking sealed bids for a 3D Printing System for the College of Engineering. The system should have a novel research printer that utilizes solid targets as printing sources with on-demand and in-situ dry particle generation, deposition, and real-time laser sintering capability to form small-scale 3D parts. The system should also have a "Smart Manufacturing Interface (SMI)" software with system automation and design files to direct write ability. The university requires a target mounting assembly, removable target holders, ablation particle generation laser, sintering lasers, and other components. The system should also have a vision system for observing the print, gantry-based motorized XYZ motion, and mass flow controllers. The university also requires on-site installation and training, as well as a one-year warranty. • The system should be able to print small-scale 3D parts • The system should have a "Smart Manufacturing Interface (SMI)" software • The system should have a target mounting assembly and removable target holders • The system should have ablation particle generation laser and sintering lasers • The system should have a vision system for observing the print • The system should have gantry-based motorized XYZ motion and mass flow controllers • The system should have on-site installation and training, as well as a one-year warranty
