Version 11-30-2016-1 FAR Part 11—Describing Agency Needs

PURCHASE DESCRIPTION

1. Statement of Need and Purpose:

By using the latest technology in Rapid Prototyping, the Section on Instrumentation (SI) engineering group is able to increase productivity and effectiveness while at the same time decreasing the amount of time needed to engineer and fabricate the components.

SI requires a large format FM 3D Printer to produce working models.

2. Background Information and Objective:

SI would like the opportunity to upgrade its current large format 3D printer.

3. Generic Name of Product: FDM 3D Printer

4. Purchase Description:

(1) FDM 3D Printer and associated maintenance.

5. Salient characteristics

• Machine must be capable of producing functional parts using Fused Deposition

Modeling (FDM)

• Machine must be capable of using the following materials: ABS-M30, ABS-M30i, ASA, FDM Nylon 12, FDM Nylon 12CF, PC, PC-ABS, PC-ISO, ULTEM 9085, ULTEM 1010, and ST-130

• System must be able to produce parts (build area) up to 14” x 14” x 14”

• Parts must be produced in a heated build chamber. The servo motors controlling the FDM extrusion head must be external to the heated chamber

• System must be able to build models directly from a 3D CAD file

• Parts produced must not require external adhesives or glues used to bind material together

• Parts should be functional when removed from machine and should not require additional steps for fusing the material

• Machine must be capable of being installed in an office environment

• Machine must have capability to use support material that can be removed mechanically or within a soluble solution

• System should also be able to adjust build layer accuracy to change how parts are produced for detail and speed

• Capability to print/build layers in range from .005” - .013” for high resolution depending on material

• Filament for the machine should be in resealable canisters to avoid moisture contamination

Version 11-30-2016-1 FAR Part 11—Describing Agency Needs
