Notice of Intent: Phantom High-Speed Camera System

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to procure a Phantom High-Speed Camera System for melt pool imaging in the Additive Manufacturing Metrology Testbed (AMMT) 2.0 dual-laser system. The camera must meet specific minimum requirements, including a CMOS sensor type, monochrome color, and a global shutter. The system will be used to capture melt pool dynamics during the laser-material interaction, providing critical information for understanding the additive manufacturing process. • The camera must have a combination of speed, resolution, sensitivity, and controllability. • The camera must meet specific minimum specifications, including sensor type, color, pixel pitch, bit depth, resolution, sensitivity, shutter, and minimum shutter speed. • The camera must be able to transfer data via CoaxPress or 10 Gb ethernet and have onboard memory of at least 72 GB. • The camera must have a c-mount adapter and be able to fit within laboratory space constraints at NIST.
