Statement of Work for Multi-Material 3D Printer System

PR:

Solicitation:

General Overview:

With the increasing complexity of work and shorter time frames to complete work orders, the ability to easily upload files into a 3D printer to create parts faster than traditional methods of machining is highly desirable. Not only do we need fast parts, but parts that can meet or exceed the strength and weight of aluminum, without the hazards of powder metal printing machines. This is not only a time and money-saving venture, but this is also a force multiplier. A single employee can upload files, start the 3D printer, then walk away and complete other work orders as the printer is working.

Minimum Requirements:

Shall meet the following basic system requirements:

1. Build volume must be at least 12” x 10” x 7”

2. Must be able to print 50 μm layers at minimum

3. Must be able to create parts using fused filament fabrication, AND Continuous Filament Fabrication

4. Must be able to print fibrous materials to include: carbon fiber, fiberglass, Kevlar ®, HSHT fiberglass

5. Must be able to print parts with multiple types of plastics to include: Onyx, Onyx FR, Nylon White

6. Must include in-process inspection laser scanning, active print calibration, and bed leveling

7. Must be powered by 120 VAC

8. Must have a footprint no bigger than 24” x 20”x 36”

9. Must not weigh more than 120 pounds

DELIVERY PROCEDURES COMMERCIAL VEHICLES

All vehicles larger than a large pick-up truck are required to be inspected by the Wright- Patterson Air Force Base Commercial Vehicle Delivery Gate (CVDG) prior to entering the installation. Vehicles to be inspected include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Step van/panel truck

2. Tractor/trailer, box and flatbed containing cargo

3. Tanker trucks

4. Box trucks

5. Tour buses

6. Garbage/recycled waste trucks

7. Concrete trucks/mixers, dump trucks

8. Cranes, recreational vehicles, petroleum tanker

This inspection will be conducted at Gate 16A located off State Route 444. The following are exemptions to vehicles utilizing the CVDG:

1. If the vehicle has the product inside (concrete and asphalt trucks) and timely delivery is necessary due to product deterioration it does not need to enter the CVDG. To bypass the CVDG, the contractor shall submit a list containing drivers’ names, social security numbers and the state in which the driver's license is held for those drivers who will be entering the base. This shall be accomplished 24 hours prior to requested entry time. If entry is requested on Monday, this list shall be submitted by Friday at 1630 hours. All lists shall be submitted to the 88th ABW/CE Directorate contract inspector. The only gates that may be used under this exemption shall be 15A, 38A, and gate 1B. If the driver's name is not on the list, he/she will not be allowed access to the installation through these gates and the base will not assume liability for denied access.

2. If a delivery vehicle shall exit, and then re-enter the base to complete its route, the vehicle shall be resealed upon exiting the base. After initially passing through the commercial vehicle delivery gate, trucks shall be resealed at Gates 15A, 38A and 22B. The resealing of the trucks will allow them to continue to any other area of the installation (Areas A, B, or Kittyhawk) without reprocessing through the CVDG. To receive resealing assistance, the drivers shall physically stop at one of the three authorized gates and request the installation entry controller to reseal their truck and provide the next location of their delivery. The controller will reseal the truck and give the delivery driver a pre-clearance form. The driver shall present the pre-clearance form to the entry controller at the next point of installation entry. This reentry can be through any base gate.

Vehicles may be subject to an inspection at any of installation entry control points during a directed random antiterrorism measure (RAM.) Any commercial vehicle, regardless of size, can be directed to the CVDG at the discretion of the installation entry controller.
