About this award

The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $18.4M definitive cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to 3D Systems Inc. on September 30, 2023, for the development and delivery of a Large-Format Metal 3D Printer Advanced Technology Demonstrator (Gen-II DMP-1000) with integrated robotic laser ablation surface preparation technology. The contract, which extends through September 27, 2027, will be performed in San Diego, California. This award supports the Air Force's advanced manufacturing objectives by enabling the production of highly complex metal parts not achievable through conventional manufacturing methods, leveraging metal additive manufacturing as a fundamentally digital production process capable of supporting transformational Air Force programs.

The contract award originated from the Air Force Research Laboratory Materials and Manufacturing Directorate's open broad agency announcement, which solicited proposals for manufacturing research and technology development with potential awards up to $25M. 3D Systems, a leading provider of additive manufacturing solutions and equipment, was selected without any set-aside designation based on technical merit, cost realism, and alignment with Air Force manufacturing technology needs. The contractor's established track record in federal additive manufacturing contracts, combined with its expertise in direct metal printing systems and integration of advanced manufacturing technologies, positioned it to deliver this advanced technology demonstrator supporting the Air Force's digital manufacturing and advanced materials capabilities.
